# Instructions:
01 -
Peel and dice 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Dice 1 medium Yellow Onion and mince 3 cloves Garlic. This initial prep sets the stage for your High Protein Ground Beef with Potatoes Recipe.
02 -
Heat 1 tbsp Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
03 -
Add 1.5 lbs 90% Lean Ground Beef to the same skillet. Break it apart and cook over medium-high heat until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat, if needed, for your High Protein Ground Beef with Potatoes Recipe.
04 -
Add the diced 1 medium Yellow Onion to the skillet with the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced 3 cloves Garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
05 -
Stir in 2 tbsp Tomato Paste, 1 tsp Smoked Paprika, and 1 tsp Dried Thyme, cooking for 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup Low Sodium Beef Broth and 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
06 -
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until potatoes are fully tender and flavors have melded. This ensures a delicious High Protein Ground Beef with Potatoes Recipe.
07 -
Season the High Protein Ground Beef with Potatoes Recipe generously with Salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped, just before serving for a fresh finish.
# Notes:
01 -
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the smoked paprika.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
03 -
This hearty dish pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or some steamed green beans for added vegetables.
04 -
While Yukon Golds are recommended for their creamy texture, red potatoes or even sweet potatoes can be used for a different flavor profile.
