Ground Beef & Potatoes Skillet

I love it.

The recipe was okay. Kind of bland so I added more seasoning-garlic powder and onion powder-and dry. I feel like it’s missing a sauce to go with it and perhaps another starch such as a tortilla. Or probably an acidity note to help enhance it-so squeeze some lemon or lime at the end (I didn’t think about this because I was so hungry). Just some suggestions.

The flavor was pretty good, but the dish is rather dry. I’m thinking through ways to spice up the leftovers a bit and bring some moisture to the dish.

Similar to what someone said below, definitely cover the potatoes while caramelizing. I realized about halfway through that it wasn’t going to be nearly enough time and the potatoes weren’t cooked through.

I cooked this and everything was great up until adding the potatoes to the skillet and they crusted so bad on my cast iron skillet I had to scrap the crust off with a spatula even after adding water and probably a 1/4 cup of olive oil. What am I doing wrong? It's a new cast iron skillet that is not supposed to require seasoning. Thanks for any help!

This one is definitely saved in my bookmarks! My husband loves this dish! I would say tho, I add a couple tbs of butter to the potatoes , plus paprika, garlic salt, and chilli powder. Other than that , it’s delicious! Oh and for some reason my potatoes have a hard time getting fully cooked so I add a bit of water after about 10 minutes of charring the potato and close it with a lid while stirring it occasionally!

I loved this recipe. Perfect meal.

This was very yummy! My husband added garlic salt to the potatoes and it all had nice flavors and textures. Sort of felt like breakfast for dinner-I wonder how it would be with scrambled eggs on top?

My family of five including 10, 13&15 year olds loves this dish. I added a generous amount of Montreal steak seasoning to the beef while cooking. And I used extra potatoes bc we needed to use them up AND added rosemary to the pan while they were cooking. Lastly, I added three time as much garlic as called for and yellow zucchini to the veggies pan fry.

I think the additional seasoning/herbs/garlic helped create a full body flavor that others noted as missing in earlier reviews.

Kids added some shredded cheese and sour cream and everyone had seconds. Thanks for this great recipe!

Made it and it’s okay. If I make it again, I’ll add olives. We ate ours with sour cream which kinda kills the healthy eating part.

Things to do differently:
70:30on ground beef is okay. I used 80:20 and the potatoes soaked up that grease in a minute.
Put a lid on the skillet when caramelizing the potatoes unless you want to add 20 minutes to your cooking time.

Still tasty but not quite there.

Couple extra steps that defeats quick weeknight meal, but worth it. Browned flat iron steak (on sale) instead of ground beef, remove from pan, tent & let rest before slicing thin strips. Keeping browned bits in pan, Sautéed peppers & onions, (did not add garlic yet) remove veggies from pan. Added 2 tsp oil to pan, sautéed sliced mushrooms & one cubed zucchini. Removed veggies from pan, added splash of olive oil, 1 TBS tomato paste w/2-3 tsp Italian seasoning, heat for approx 2 min on low heat stirring constantly. Stir in garlic approx 30 seconds, add 1/4 cup red wine. Reduce for approx 2-3 minutes stirring constantly then added all ingredients back to pan including juices from meat, salt & black pepper to taste, simmer on low stirring occasionally 5-10 minutes. Added fresh spinach the last couple minutes.

Like several others, I thought the recipe is missing something. But it is hard to pin down what. I added sweet paprika. That helped. Then I added some Adobo powder. That helped a lot more. But, until I figure out what this really needs I am not likely to make it again.

Hi, this recipe looks so yummy and colourful. Thanks for the recipe.

Was so good! My whole family raved about it!! Added my own spin with a can of cream of mushrooms and topped with an egg. Also used some previous comments and added some Worcester sauce and balsamic vinegar. My only regret was I didn't make more!

Added potatoes and doubled the recipe passed the test in a house with six kids (ages 5-19) and two adults. All asked for seconds, thanks! Finally a healthy feel good recipe my family loves

This is good, and I'm always looking for a way to use kale. It just needs something--that unami taste? I added a splash of Worcestershire sauce, but it still wasn't right. Then a splash of balsamic vinegar. That helped. I would make it again, but probably add some balsamic vinegar.

Tasted great, easily clean up, good protein intake. 10/10 I'll make it again.

This was a delicious & easy recipe. Perfect for a quick week night meal.
