Ground beef and potatoes Dinner

If you want to give your family a change of pace from mashed potatoes, then try this ground beef and potato dish.

This one-pot dish is made with a combination of Ground beef with Potatoes.  The juices from the ground beef get infused inside the potatoes and this creates a rich, intricate, and hearty flavor when combined with the Tomato sauce. It tastes so good that each time I made this my super picky kid would ask for more.

Ground beef and potatoes

This potato with ground beef is without a doubt a great one-pot meal. It is a family-friendly solution when you need to have dinner on the table fast. This meal is really filling and it makes a perfect dinner after a long busy day. The kids will also enjoy it as well.

This is a recipe I came up with one day when I had ground beef and potatoes in the house and I needed to make something interesting for dinner. Ever since I made it, it has become a family favorite. 

In this recipe, I’ve used bell peppers, however, I’ve also used mixed veggies and I’ve made this with no veggies :). It’s so versatile. You can easily throw in any vegetables you have in your fridge.

I have always used Ground Beef for this because, for some reason, it’s always what I have at home whenever I make this meal but I know it will taste as good when done with Ground chicken or Ground Turkey.

Notes:

• When browning and breaking the ground beef, keep some chunks if you wish. It will give the finished dish a more appetizing texture.
• I will suggest using the Russet potatoes if you can get that (pick the Big ones-it works better!).
• For a little kick, I added one minced habanero pepper. Jalapeno, cayenne pepper or crushed red chili pepper or sriracha sauce can also be used
• Ground Chicken or Ground Turkey can also be used to replace ground beef.
• Thyme can be replaced with rosemary

This dish makes a satisfying meal when paired with Flatbread, No-knead french bread, dutch oven bread or chapatis
