Instructions
How to Make Cheesy Ground Beef & Potato Casserole
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Stir in the diced potatoes and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano. Mix well.
- Pour in the beef broth, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover again and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color.
Notes
Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top for extra creaminess. Allow casserole to cool completely before storing.
