Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion softens and becomes fragrant.
  3. Add Potatoes and Seasonings: Stir in the diced potatoes and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano, making sure everything is well combined.
  4. Simmer with Broth: Pour in the beef broth and cover the skillet. Lower the heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are tender and most of the liquid has absorbed.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef and potatoes. Cover again and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts thoroughly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use sharp cheddar cheese.
  • You can substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a lighter taste.
  • Make sure to cook potatoes until tender to ensure a perfect texture.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes while cooking for a spicy variation.
