A comforting one-pot meal filled with savory ground beef, tender potatoes, and a rich, creamy blend of melted cheeses.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or stew beef, if preferred)
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 cup beef broth (or water with a beef bouillon cube)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 cup frozen peas or mixed vegetables for extra nutrition

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.

  5. Stir in shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Add peas or mixed vegetables if desired.
  6. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce, then taste and adjust seasoning.
