This one-pan Ground Beef and Potatoes dish is an easy, quick, and satisfying meal. Perfectly cooked potatoes, seasoned ground beef, and veggies make this a family favorite in just 35 minutes.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and diced into ¼-inch cubes (Yukon golds work great)
  • 1 pound 93% lean ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce (Sriracha works well)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • For Serving:
  • Non-fat plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice (optional)
  • Extra hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot and shiny, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced potatoes. Cook, stirring often, until the potatoes are golden and starting to become tender (about 6 minutes), though they should still be too firm to eat.
  2. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, breaking apart the beef, until the meat is browned.
  3. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and hot sauce (adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your spice preference). Continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes, until the potatoes are fully tender and the beef is fully cooked.
  4. Stir in the sliced green onions, and taste to adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
  5. Serve hot with a topping of Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, over rice, or simply on its own with an extra dash of hot sauce if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of hot sauce or add a diced jalapeño when cooking the onions and bell pepper.
  • This dish is versatile; serve it with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option or regular rice for a heartier meal.
  • If you prefer a creamier texture, mix in some sour cream or cheese into the beef mixture at the end of cooking.
