Today's Recipe: Old-Fashioned Cowboy Beef & Potato Skillet
Howdy, friends! 🤠🍂
Welcome back to another delicious day of Chuckwagon Cooking! Today, we're heading back to the days when cowboys gathered around the campfire after a long day's work, enjoying a hearty, homemade meal.
You don't need fancy ingredients or an expensive grocery bill to put something delicious on the table. Sometimes the simplest meals are the ones our families remember most!
Today's recipe is a one-skillet country supper that's filling, affordable, and perfect for a chilly November evening.
 35–40 minutes
 4–6 servings
Budget-friendly
🥔 Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
4 medium potatoes, washed and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
ÂĽ cup water or beef broth
Optional: sliced green onions for garnish
🍳 Let's Get Cooking!
1. Brown the beef:Â In a large cast-iron skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and set the beef aside.
2. Cook those potatoes: Add olive oil and diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and beginning to soften.
3. Add the vegetables:Â Stir in onion and bell pepper. Cook another 5 minutes, then add minced garlic.
4. Bring it together: Return the beef to the skillet. Add seasonings and beef broth. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 5–8 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and the beef is fully cooked.
5. Make it cheesy:Â Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top. Cover for 2 minutes until melted.
6. Serve it hot:Â Dish it up with homemade biscuits, cornbread, or a side of green beans!
đź’° Chuckwagon Money-Saving Tip
Got leftover baked potatoes? Dice them up and use them instead of raw potatoes. You'll save cooking time and keep perfectly good food from going to waste!
You can also stretch this meal by adding a drained can of pinto beans or a handful of frozen vegetables.
❤️ A Little Food for Thought
Some of the sweetest memories are made around a simple supper table. It isn't about how expensive the meal is or how fancy the dishes are. It's about the love, laughter, and blessings we share.
Today's Scripture — KJV
"O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him." — Psalm 34:8
As you prepare your meals today, take a moment to thank the Lord for His provision. Even the simplest blessings deserve our gratitude!
