Description
A quick and tasty skillet meal featuring ground beef and potatoes, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 medium potatoes, diced (about 4 cups)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup frozen peas (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, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Pour in the beef broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
- If using, add the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Stir to combine and heat through.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños when cooking the onions.
- Substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes for a healthier twist and a hint of sweetness.
