Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound ground meat (beef, turkey, or your choice)
Starches:
- 12 small potatoes, diced (or adjust to preference)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 can cream soup (any flavor you like)
- 3/4 cup milk (or substitute with water and sour cream if preferred)
- Seasoning of your choice
- Shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Warm a spacious cast-iron skillet over medium flame and introduce ground meat, methodically crumbling and sautéing until the protein achieves a rich, caramelized exterior.
- Incorporate diced potatoes directly into the skillet, ensuring they nestle among the browned meat fragments, stirring periodically to promote even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Transition the skillet’s contents by gently pouring cream soup and liquid components, thoroughly integrating these elements to create a cohesive, creamy foundation that envelops the meat and potato mixture.
- Elevate the dish’s flavor profile by sprinkling strategic seasonings throughout the skillet, whisking them meticulously to distribute robust taste across every morsel.
- Optional: Blanket the surface with delicate shreds of cheese, allowing them to gradually melt and transform into a luxurious, golden-hued topping that adds textural complexity and rich depth.
- Remove from heat and let the skillet contents rest momentarily, permitting flavors to harmonize before serving this comforting, rustic one-pan culinary creation.
Notes
- Choose lean ground meat to reduce excess fat and create a healthier version of the dish.
- Dice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the skillet.
- Switch to plant-based alternatives like ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles for different dietary preferences.
- Enhance flavor by adding fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary during the final seasoning stage for extra depth and aroma.
