Description

Enjoy a delicious blend of savory ground beef and tender potatoes in this easy one-pan dinner. This dish is filled with flavor and perfect for a quick family meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ pounds yukon gold potatoes, chopped into ½ inch cubes
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onion and ground beef, sprinkling with 1 teaspoon salt, garlic, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
  • Break the beef apart and cook for 5-8 minutes until browned and the onion softens. Remove the meat and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil and the cubed potatoes. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add ¼ cup water, cover, and cook while stirring often, until potatoes are almost tender, about 15-20 minutes. Add more water if needed to prevent sticking.
  • Once potatoes are tender, return the cooked meat to the pan, add mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup, mixing well. Add more water if the mixture is dry.
  • Stir half of the cheese into the mixture and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Place in the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese melts. Serve warm.

Notes

Yukon gold or russet potatoes work well; peeling is not necessary.
Add more water if the potatoes start to stick to the skillet during cooking.
