Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker or use a liner for easier cleanup.
Cooking
  1. Place cubed potatoes on the bottom of the slow cooker, then top with chopped onion and minced garlic.
  2. Arrange the cubed beef over the vegetables.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the soup mixture over the beef and vegetables, then cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until tender.
  5. During the last 30 minutes, sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese and bacon bits over the top, then cover and cook until the cheese is melted.
Serving
  1. Ladle into bowls and garnish with the remaining cheese, bacon bits, green onions, and sour cream if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can sear the beef cubes in a hot pan before adding them to the slow cooker. Adjust salt and pepper to your taste, and feel free to add other herbs like rosemary or bay leaf for variation.
