Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, milk, and flour until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet.
  4. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don’t have cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack or a blend of cheeses will also work.
  • This recipe is a great option for meal planning and can be easily reheated.
