This Ground Beef and Potatoes recipe combines savory beef and tender potatoes in a quick, budget-friendly dish that's perfect for family dinners. With minimal ingredients and simple steps, it's a filling, hearty meal for any occasion.
Peel and cube the potatoes evenly so they cook quickly. Chop the onion and mince the garlic, ready for cooking.
Cook the Ground Beef:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil or butter. Once hot, add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease once browned.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the Potatoes and Seasonings:
Stir in the potatoes, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and chili powder. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings.
Simmer and Cook:
Add beef broth or water, cover, and lower the heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender. Add more liquid if necessary.
Add Cheese (Optional):
If using cheese, sprinkle it on top and cover the skillet for a couple of minutes to melt.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
