Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 4 medium Red potatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0 Optional toppings (jalapeños, guacamole, salsa)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and roughly chop the onion into small pieces. Dice the red potatoes into bite-sized cubes, leaving the skins on for added texture.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the cooked beef and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is slightly softened. Stir in the taco seasoning packet and mix well to coat the beef and onions evenly.

Step 4

Lightly grease the inside of your Crock Pot with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking. Place the diced potatoes in the Crock Pot and season with the salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Layer the seasoned ground beef and onion mixture on top of the potatoes. Pour the diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the juice) over the beef and potatoes. Spread evenly with a spoon.

Step 6

Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked.

Step 7

When cooking is complete, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dish. Cover the Crock Pot again and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 8

Serve the nacho-style beef and potatoes hot, topped with sour cream, fresh cilantro, and any optional toppings such as sliced jalapeños, guacamole, or salsa.
