Here’s a simple, hearty ground beef and potato skillet meal you can make in one pan:
🥔🍳 Ground Beef & Potato Skillet
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 3–4 medium potatoes, diced small
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper (optional), chopped
- 2 tbsp oil or butter
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin (optional)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley or coriander (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Cook the potatoes
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. Remove and set aside. - Brown the beef
In the same pan, add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed. - Add aromatics
Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook for 3–5 minutes until softened. - Season it up
Stir in paprika, cumin, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. - Combine everything
Return the potatoes to the skillet. Mix well and cook another 3–5 minutes so flavors combine. - Garnish & serve
Sprinkle with fresh herbs if you like. Serve hot.
🔥 Optional Add-ins:
- Fried or scrambled eggs on top
- Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- A splash of hot sauce or ketchup
- Spinach or peas for extra veggies
If you want, I can turn this into a spicy desi-style version or a cheesy baked version.
