Description
A hearty stove-top dish that brings ground meat and potatoes together in a creamy sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground meat (beef, turkey, chicken, or pork)
- 12 small potatoes, diced (about ½-inch pieces)
- 1 can condensed cream soup (mushroom, chicken, or celery)
- ¾ cup cold milk
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Shredded cheese (as desired for topping)
- Fresh herbs (for garnish)
- Frozen vegetables (optional for extra nutrition)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks until browned.
- Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and absorb the meat’s flavor.
- Add the condensed cream soup along with ¾ cup cold milk, stirring until smooth and combined—adjust with extra milk if needed to avoid thickness.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10–15 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of milk or water if sticking occurs.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese on top and let it melt. If using, add frozen vegetables during the last 3–4 minutes of cooking.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
Notes
For added flavor, serve with a green salad, crusty bread, or a dollop of sour cream.
