Description
A comforting one-pan meal featuring ground meat, tender potatoes, and a creamy sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey/chicken)
- 4 medium russet potatoes, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the Skillet: Start by placing a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat for about 1-2 minutes until it shimmers but doesn’t smoke.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Toss in the diced onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent. Add minced garlic and continue cooking for 30 seconds.
- Brown the Meat: Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dice potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Stir in the potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
- Add the Broth: Pour in the beef broth, ensuring the potatoes are submerged. Bring to a gentle simmer and cover, reducing heat to low for 10-12 minutes.
- Stir in the Cream: Once potatoes are tender, add heavy cream and let it simmer uncovered for another 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
