  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

A comforting one-pan dish featuring buttery potatoes, smoky chili, and gooey cheese, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium Potatoes (Russet or Yukon gold)
  • 1 lb Ground beef or turkey (or lentils for vegetarian)
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 2 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 Bell pepper, diced
  • 1 Onion, diced
  • 1 cup Beef or vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients: Wash and cube your potatoes, dice your onions and bell peppers, and gather your spices.
  2. Cook the potatoes: In your cast-iron skillet, melt some butter and add the potatoes. Let them cook on medium heat until golden and tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Add aromatics and chili: Push the potatoes to the side, add onions and bell peppers, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ground meat and spices until the meat is browned.
  4. Form the skillet: Spread everything evenly across the skillet, lower the heat, and sprinkle cheese generously on top. Cover to melt the cheese.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh herbs before serving straight from the skillet.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or serving with lime juice or sour cream.
