Description
A cozy one-pan dinner that combines classic sloppy joe flavors with tender potatoes, perfect for busy nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 3 cups diced potatoes
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar recommended)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Sauté the veggies: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the peppers are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Brown the meat: Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
- Add the potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes, ensuring they are well combined with the meat mixture. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Make the sauce: In a bowl, mix together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour this sauce over the meat and potatoes in the skillet.
- Simmer: Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally and add a splash of water if it gets too thick.
- Add cheese: Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Cover again, allowing the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure even cooking by cutting the potatoes into uniform sizes. You can make this recipe vegetarian by substituting ground meat with lentils or crumbled tempeh.
