Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the beef is evenly seasoned. Push the beef mixture to one side of the skillet.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes to the empty side of the skillet. Stir them occasionally and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they start to become tender. If needed, add a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Pour 1 cup of beef broth into the skillet, and stir everything together. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked and tender.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef and potato mixture. Cover again for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Stove Top Cheesy Beef and Potato!
