Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 2 large carrots
• 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup frozen green beans
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Thickly slice the carrots and dice the onion. Mince the garlic.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, sauté the onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and break it apart with a wooden spoon until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.

Step 4

Layer the diced potatoes and sliced carrots evenly over the cooked beef in the skillet.

Step 5

Pour the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) over the vegetables. Then add the frozen green beans on top.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the contents of the skillet.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the lid and stir gently to combine all layers. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the Shipwreck Skillet Dinner hot, garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
