Beef and Potatoes Skillet – Easy Cheesy Dinner
Beef and Potatoes Skillet is an easy one-pan dinner with ground beef and tender potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean halal ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion finely diced
- 1 green bell pepper finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 medium russet potatoes peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon halal-certified Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and green bell pepper.
- Cook while breaking the beef into small pieces until the meat is browned and the vegetables begin to soften. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Add the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Mix until everything is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Pour in the beef broth and stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce the heat and cover the skillet. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, stirring occasionally so they cook evenly. Add a small splash of broth if the pan becomes too dry before the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the Beef and Potatoes Skillet. Cover briefly and allow the cheese to melt.
- Remove from the heat and serve warm.
Notes
Russet potatoes work especially well because they become tender and comforting as they cook. Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used for a slightly creamier texture.
