Description
A warm and saucy one-pan meal featuring tender potatoes and seasoned ground beef, topped with melted cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 700 g (1.5 lb) Yukon Gold or red potatoes, sliced 6 mm (1/4 inch)
- 450 g (1 lb) lean ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced (150 g)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced (120 g)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 6 g)
- 200 ml (3/4 cup + 2 tbsp) tomato sauce
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) ketchup
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
- 10 g (2 tsp) Dijon mustard
- 25 g (2 tbsp) light brown sugar
- 5 ml (1 tsp) smoked paprika
- 5 g (1 tsp) kosher salt
- 2 g (1/2 tsp) freshly ground black pepper
- 60 g (2 cups) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) neutral oil for sautéing
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Par-cook the potatoes: Place sliced potatoes in salted boiling water and simmer until just tender, 6–8 minutes. Drain and let them steam dry for 2 minutes.
- Brown the beef and vegetables: Heat oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned, about 4–5 minutes; drain off excess fat. Add onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Build the sauce: Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire, Dijon, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
- Layer potatoes and sauce: Nestle the par-cooked potato slices into the sauce. Spoon extra sauce over them and cook uncovered for 3–4 minutes.
- Finish with cheese: Sprinkle cheddar over the skillet and place under a preheated broiler on high for 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Rest and serve: Remove from heat and let rest for 3 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Make-ahead by completing steps 1–3 and refrigerating up to 24 hours. To reheat, warm in the oven before adding cheese.
