Ground Beef and Potatoes (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 450 g ground beef
02 - 3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
03 - 1 onion, diced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 240 ml beef broth
06 - 1 teaspoon paprika
07 - 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
08 - Salt, to taste
09 - Black pepper, to taste
10 - 60 g shredded cheddar cheese
11 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat and return the beef to the pan.
02 - Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
03 - Stir in the diced potatoes, beef broth, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
04 - Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
05 - Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately while hot.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Cut potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
02 - Covering the skillet during simmering accelerates potato cooking and enhances flavor absorption.
03 - For optimal texture and flavor, grate cheese fresh before use.
04 - Add a pinch of cayenne or red chili flakes for a mild spicy kick.
