One Pot Ground Beef and Potatoes

Not the most nutritious but still very good and a lot like a hamburger helper.

Dice the potatoes into small chunks about 1/4-12 inch, set aside. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced carrots, onion, bell pepper, beef, salt & pepper to taste, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring around constantly for about 5-6 minutes until the beef is no longer pink. Drain any remaining liquid and grease from the pan and return the meat and vegetable mixture back to your pan on the stove. Add the potatoes and beef broth to the pan. Use a spoon to push the potatoes down until covered by the liquid as much as possible. Reduce the heat on the stove to medium-low, simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, just until potatoes are fork tender. Remove pan from heat, stir in the cream cheese, and 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Top the beef and potatoes with the remaining cheese. Place a lid on the pan and allow to sit for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

I read the reviews and only used 2 cups of broth - turned out yummy - like hamburger helper which I refuse to buy - good comfort food!

Used this as inspiration for our meal. It turned out well. Instead of cream cheese and shredded cheese, I just added sour cream to each our bowls to make it creamy per serving. Omitted Worcestershire but added onion powder, garlic powder and smoked paprika.

It turned out a little more liquid-y than I expected but still delicious. I would add less broth next time.

Doubled recipe. Subbed Yukon gold potatoes and celery for the peppers. After adding potatoes & broth, brought it up to a boil with lid partially on, then reduced to medium and kept the lid partially on. Everything was cooked nicely and the liquid level was good for us.

No bell peppers. The BF no likey. Instead I used more carrots and shallots. Topped with fresh parsley and chives. Delish!

This was so good! I seasoned the meat with paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Was def not bland. Loved it. Might have added too much cheese haha

Needs more seasonings

It was so good and so easy! Someone said that they used less beef broth, so it wasn't so soupy. I still used the called amount of beef broth but drained a bit before adding the cheeses. It was a little bland, but I added a few pinches of cayenne pepper (and I don't usually like spicy), which took down the richness of the cheeses. It also kicked the blandness in the butt!

I would add less stock next time, it was more like a soup but delicious

I did omit the carrots out of fear they wouldn’t cook but still tastes fantastic. The 3 year old is eating it right up!

Delicious will definitely make again

Soupy but delicious. We added some instant potatoes to make it thicker and just roll with the soup aspect.

After reading reviews I cooked the potatoes ahead of time(next time I might par cook the carrots also) and reduced the liquid to 1 cup them let it boil down so it wasn't soupy then added the cheese. Whole family likes it (even the picky one)

I cooked the potatoes separately and then only added 1 cup of broth. I also added thyme and garlic powder. It was still what I would consider soupy, but more of a chowder or potato soup thickness. It was cheap and good, so I'll be making it again!

I used a 12 oz can of Guinness instead of 2 cups of broth and it was perfect! Def use less liquid.

As everyone else said it it very soupy, I recommend adding less broth. Also it needs more spices but it was still very nice just a bit plain. Easy to make, would recommend cooking it for 7 serves if you want substantial leftovers

I think next time, I will boil potatoes separate. That way, the broth can be reduced, and it wouldn't be so soupy. But otherwise it was very good.

We didn't have peppers so used celery instead. It is delicious! It is like shepherd's pie soup 🥰

I liked it, but I would suggest putting more spices in it

I substituted venison for beef. I reduced the beef broth by 1/2 cup after reading reviews about it being soupy. I found it somewhat bland, so I added extra salt and pepper.

It's good but soupy.

Good. More soupy than what I was expecting.

Didn't have cheddar cheese so I use some Velveeta I also used frozen mixed veggies. Kept everything else the same it was delicious. Reminded me of hamburger soup

Such a great food!

Added the Cheddar cheese once I dipped it out.

We made it thicker with heavy whipping cream and added more potatoes and cheese. We also didn’t cook everything in one pan because of the fat from the meat and the starch from the potatoes. I’d say it’s better that way.

This recipe is very flexible! I didn’t have certain items and added others and it was still a hit! I definitely recommend adding some thyme and sage. I also subbed velveeta for some of the cheddar and it made for a wonderful consistency.

Great comfort food just in time for the cold weather. I made it in my insta-pot, so it was easy. I also added celery and mushrooms. It thickened up nicely (not reflected in photo)).

Amazing

Very tasty and hearty dish, perfect for the colder season! Made a few changes (only half a cup of cheese, half of original cream cheese amount, handful of thinly sliced chorizo) and it came out delicious. Will make again!

No mushrooms as is not on the list. Added the garlic at the end 😂 life is good cooked 10 portions for meal prep ☺️

I used shredded pepper jack for a little kick.

It's okay with the ground beef. I personally think it'd be better with chorizo or chicken. There's a lot of room for improvement.

Its a great winter stew. i use ground beef, but you would swap for any ground red meat, or dark bird meat like turkey. I use mushrooms instead of bell peppers and it always turns out great.

Very good! Substituted carrots for cauliflower rice and kale

we made it with venison and we couldn't get enough
