Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Remove excess grease if needed.
- Push the beef to one side of the skillet and add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the diced onions and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes to let any excess liquid evaporate.
- If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top and cover the pan for 1-2 minutes until melted.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey or sausage for a different twist.
- Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a slightly sweeter flavor.
- Add chopped bell peppers or spinach for extra veggies.
