Ingredients

Cheesy One Pot Beef and Potatoes is a cozy, satisfying dinner made with simple ingredients and just one skillet. Tender sliced potatoes, seasoned ground beef, sweet peppers, and onions cook together in a flavorful broth, then get finished with a generous layer of melted cheddar cheese. It’s hearty, comforting, and perfect for busy weeknights when you want big flavor without a pile of dishes.

Instructions

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1.8 lb starchy potatoes (white potatoes work best)

  • 2 Romano peppers, chopped (or bell peppers)

  • 1.1 lb lean ground beef

  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp sweet paprika

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes

  • 2 tbsp double-concentrated tomato paste

  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley (plus more for serving)

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Notes

  • Prep all ingredients before cooking. Peel the potatoes, cut them lengthwise in half, then slice into 1/4-inch (0.5 cm) thick slices. Chop the onion and parsley, mince the garlic, and thinly slice the peppers.

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Add the potatoes and cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden on all sides. Remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, add the peppers and cook for 3 minutes until slightly softened.

  • Add ground beef, break it up with a spoon, and cook for about 2 minutes until lightly browned.

  • Add onion and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.

  • Season with salt, black pepper, chili flakes, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir in the tomato paste.

  • Return potatoes to the skillet along with parsley. Gently stir to combine.

  • Pour in the chicken broth, cover with a lid, and cook for about 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

  • Remove the lid and simmer until most of the broth has evaporated.

  • Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly over the top, cover again, and let the cheese melt completely.

  • Garnish with extra parsley and chili flakes. Serve hot.
