A comforting and flavorful one-pan dish featuring seasoned ground beef, tender diced potatoes, and melted cheddar cheese, perfect for an easy and hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Oil

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Liquids & Toppings

  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes fragrant.
  3. Add Potatoes and Seasonings: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and sprinkle in salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Stir well to evenly coat the potatoes and beef with the spices.
  4. Simmer with Broth: Pour in the beef broth and cover the skillet. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the broth has mostly absorbed into the mixture.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef and potatoes. Cover the skillet again and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts thoroughly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm for a delicious, hearty meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute Yukon Gold or red potatoes if desired.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
  • Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated within 2 days for best quality.
  • Adding a handful of frozen peas or corn can boost the vegetable content.
