This was Grandpa’s favorite—he called it “farmer’s supper,” a simple skillet that warmed up the whole house. It’s hearty, budget-friendly, and tastes like something cooked with love. Add a little cheese or keep it classic—it’s comfort food at its finest, made in just one pan.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef

1 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4–5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

½ cup beef broth or water

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook 2–3 minutes until soft.

Add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.

Stir in potatoes, paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Pour in broth, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally.
