Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup sour cream optional for serving
  • Chopped green onions for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in the diced potatoes, beef broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover again and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, and consider using sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
