Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by dicing the Russet potatoes and onion into bite-sized pieces while cubing the stew meat. Place all prepared ingredients in separate bowls for layering into your crockpot.
  2. In your crockpot, layer the diced potatoes and onions evenly at the bottom to prevent burning and allow flavor absorption.
  3. Add the cubed stew meat over the layered vegetables, ensuring even distribution for optimal seasoning and tenderness.
  4. In a bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, sour cream, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the creamy sauce mixture over the vegetables and steak in the crockpot, making sure all ingredients are covered.
  6. Cover the crockpot and set to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
  7. About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the dish and cover again.
  8. Gently stir the contents after cooking, garnish with fresh chives or green onions, and serve.
