Ingredients
- 1 pound shaved beef steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 ounces provolone cheese, chopped or shredded
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Cook the Beef
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shaved beef until browned, breaking it into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to the slow cooker.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, cook the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Add them to the slow cooker.
3. Add the Dairy Ingredients
Add the cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
4. Slow Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours or HIGH for 1 to 1½ hours, stirring once or twice until the cheeses are completely melted and the dip is smooth.
5. Stir and Finish
Mix everything thoroughly until creamy and well combined.
6. Serve
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with toasted baguette slices, tortilla chips, pretzel bites, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Expert Tips
Use freshly sliced provolone for the best melt and flavor. Brown the beef before adding it to the slow cooker for deeper flavor. Stir the dip once or twice during cooking to ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of milk if needed. Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with toasted baguette slices, crostini, tortilla chips, pita chips, pretzel bites, crackers, celery sticks, carrots, or sliced bell peppers. It also makes an excellent filling for sliders or baked potatoes.
Recipe Variations
Add diced jalapeños for heat, swap mozzarella with Monterey Jack, use pepper jack for a spicy version, stir in caramelized onions for extra sweetness, or top with crispy bacon before serving.
