Learn how to make delicious Ground Beef and Potatoes. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (substitute with ground turkey for a leaner option)
4 medium-sized potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (for a smoky twist, use smoked paprika)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional: 1/2 cup frozen peas or corn for added color and nutrition
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the potatoes, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
If using, add the frozen peas or corn in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Stir to combine and let them warm through.
Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve warm and enjoy a dish that’s as comforting as it is flavorful.
