Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup (shredded) mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into small, evenly-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic if not using pre-minced garlic.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes, breaking it up into crumbles as it browns. Once fully cooked, remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside, draining any excess grease if necessary.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the diced potatoes and onion. Cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and slightly golden.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 7

Stir in the cooked ground beef, diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well until fully combined.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the dish. Cover again and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
