Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the beef is evenly seasoned. Push the beef mixture to one side of the skillet.
Add the diced potatoes to the empty side of the skillet. Stir them occasionally and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they start to become tender. If needed, add a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pour 1 cup of beef broth into the skillet, and stir everything together. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked and tender.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef and potato mixture. Cover again for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely.
Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your Stove Top Cheesy Beef and Potato!
