Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs 93/7 Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup low -sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  • Add diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop a golden-brown crust.
  • Stir the potatoes and add the diced onion; continue cooking for 4-5 minutes until onions are translucent.
  • Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula.
  • Cook the beef for 6-8 minutes until fully browned and no pink remains.
  • Season the mixture with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring thoroughly to incorporate.
  • Pour in the beef broth, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cover the skillet with a lid.
  • Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
