Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb Ground Beef
Vegetables
- 1 Onion, diced
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced
- 3–4 Potatoes, diced
Sauce
- 1 cup Sloppy Joe Sauce
Cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onions and green bell peppers until they become soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until it is no longer pink, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Add Potatoes: Stir in diced potatoes, ensuring they are well coated with the beef and vegetable mixture.
- Incorporate the Sauce: Pour the Sloppy Joe sauce over the mixture, stirring to combine. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Top with Cheese: Once the potatoes are cooked through, remove the lid and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover again until the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
Notes
- Cut potatoes into equal sizes for even cooking.
- For faster results, you can parboil the potatoes before adding them to the skillet.
- Don’t hesitate to adjust the seasoning based on your preference; taste as you go!
- Covering the skillet while it simmers helps steam the potatoes and speeds up cooking.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can brighten up the dish right before serving.
