Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef (85/15 lean)
- 0.5 yellow onion (diced)
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 2 cup Yukon gold potatoes (diced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1/2 diced yellow onion, 1 diced red bell pepper, and 2 cups diced Yukon gold potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender-crisp and vegetables are softened. If needed, add a splash of water and cover for a few minutes to help cook the potatoes.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Stir in 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine the flavors.
- Preheat oven broiler. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the hash in the skillet.
- Place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet.
Notes
You can use pre-cooked potatoes from the store to save on time, just sauté for less time until heated through. For an even quicker meal, use frozen diced potatoes.
