Description
Ground Beef and Potatoes is a quick and delicious comfort food dish that combines savory ground beef with tender potatoes, making it a hearty meal for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
- If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of cooking, allowing it to melt.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider incorporating diced bell peppers or carrots along with the potatoes.
- Swap out ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
