Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast trimmed & cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 medium carrots peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 8 ounces white mushrooms cleaned and roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 cups frozen corn thawed
- 3/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 6 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 1/2 tablespoons house seasoning
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas thawed
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut into 2-inch hunks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk warmed
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Place beef cubes in a large slow cooker. Add garlic, carrots, mushrooms, and corn on top.
- In a medium bowl, mix together beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and house seasoning. Pour over the slow cooker ingredients and stir well.
- Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours or high for 3½ to 4½ hours until beef is fork-tender.
- For mashed potatoes, place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and add salt. Continue simmering until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot, and mix in warmed milk and melted butter. Mash until smooth and creamy, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Skim any fat from the beef and vegetable mixture. In a small bowl, mix flour with 6 tablespoons of water until smooth, and stir into the slow cooker. Add thawed peas and season with salt and pepper.
- Fold shredded cheddar cheese into the mashed potatoes and spread the mixture on top of the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on high for another 15 to 30 minutes until gravy thickens and potatoes are heated through.
Notes
House seasoning can be adjusted according to taste.
Feel free to add other vegetables like green beans or peas depending on your preference.
