Cheesy Beef and Potato Hash
A hearty and comforting one-skillet meal featuring ground beef, potatoes, and gooey cheese.
Equipment
- Large Skillet For cooking the hash.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup onion, diced
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 0.5 cup beef stock
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the vegetables start to soften. Tip: Use a spatula to break up the beef as it cooks, ensuring even browning.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Pour in the beef stock, stir, then cover the skillet with a lid. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Tip: Keep an eye on the potatoes to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.
- Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese over the hash. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Tip: For an extra cheesy finish, you can place the skillet under the broiler for a couple of minutes, just watch closely to prevent burning!
Notes
