Ground Beef And Potatoes (Printable Version)

One-pan ground beef and potato skillet with bold flavor and simple prep.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 tablespoons canola oil
02 - 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced into ¼-inch cubes
03 - 1 pound ground beef (93% lean)
04 - 1 small yellow onion, diced
05 - 1 red bell pepper, diced

→ Seasonings

06 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
07 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
08 - 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
09 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
10 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
11 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
12 - ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
13 - 1 teaspoon hot sauce (like Sriracha), plus more for serving

→ Garnish

14 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottoms are golden. Flip and cook another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and tender. Transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the ground beef and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until it's mostly browned. Add the onion and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are soft and the beef is fully cooked.
03 - Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce. Stir well to combine and let the flavors blend for about 2 minutes.
04 - Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until everything is heated through and well coated with seasoning. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
05 - Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately. Optional toppings include shredded cheese, fried eggs, or more hot sauce.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Cut potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking
02 - Don't overcrowd the skillet so the potatoes crisp properly
03 - Let beef cook undisturbed at first to brown better
04 - Add extra veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach for more volume
05 - Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months
