Equipment

  • large pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1.5 lbs baby yellow potatoes chopped in half
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon salted butter.
  • Add in the 1 ½ lbs chopped baby potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Until you get some crispy edges. Transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.
  • Add 1 lb ground beef to the pot. Break into small pieces using a ground beef masher or tip of a spatula. Cook and crumble until the beef is browned, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add 1 cup chopped onion and 4 minced garlic cloves to the ground beef. Stir everything together and cook 1 minute.
  • Add 2 tablespoon tomato paste, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, and ½ teaspoon dried oregano. Mix together.
  • Now pour in 2 cups beef broth. Give everything a good stir, then close with the pot lid. Let this simmer until the broth has cooked down completely, and potatoes are soft when poked with a fork, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally during this time so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Add 1 ½ cups shredded cheese and stir into the potatoes. Now it's ready to serve!
