This Slow Cooker Game Day Bubbling Steakhouse Potato Casserole is the ultimate comfort-food side dish. Thinly sliced potatoes are slow-cooked in a rich, creamy sauce until tender, then finished with a golden, bubbling layer of melted cheese. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for game day, family dinners, holidays, or cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
1.5 kg potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the slow cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter.
Layer the potatoes: Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes in overlapping layers inside the slow cooker.
Season: Sprinkle the potato layers evenly with salt, black pepper, paprika, and minced garlic.
Add the creamy mixture: In a bowl, combine the heavy cream and sour cream. Pour the mixture evenly over the potatoes.
Slow cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Add the cheese: During the final 20–30 minutes, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Melt and bubble: Cover again and continue cooking until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling with a lightly golden surface.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Recipe Tips
Slice the potatoes as evenly as possible so they cook at the same rate.
Avoid lifting the lid frequently during cooking, as this can release heat and extend the cooking time.
For a stronger cheesy flavor, use a combination of cheddar and another melting cheese.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving so the creamy sauce can settle.
Serving Suggestion
Serve this creamy potato casserole alongside grilled steak, roasted chicken, burgers, or your favorite game-day dishes. It’s especially delicious while the cheese is still warm and bubbling.
