- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the beef stew meat to the skillet and sear on all sides until browned. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, beef broth, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
In the bottom of the crock pot, spread an even layer of frozen hash browns (about 3 cups).
Step 5
Layer the seared beef stew meat over the hash browns.
Step 6
Top the beef with the diced onion.
Step 7
Pour the creamy mixture over the beef and onions, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Step 8
Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Step 9
About 20 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and re-cover to allow the cheese to melt.
Step 10
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
