Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef, 85% lean
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 lbs russet potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the 1 lb ground beef, season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, and cook about 6 to 7 minutes until browned through.
  2. Push the beef aside, add the diced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves, and cook about 3 to 4 minutes until the onion softens.
  3. Stir in the 1.5 lbs diced potatoes, 1 cup beef broth, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tsp smoked paprika, cover, and simmer 15 to 18 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover for 2 minutes until melted, then top with 2 tbsp chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

If you're cutting the potatoes ahead of time, keep them submerged in cold water in the fridge so they don't brown, then drain well before adding them to the pan. This recipe also doubles easily in a wider skillet if you're feeding a bigger crowd, just add a few extra minutes to the simmer.
