Description
Chili Cheese Potato Skillet is a one-pan, gluten-free comfort dinner loaded with bold chili flavors and melted cheddar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lbs russet potatoes, diced small
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and ground beef. Cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in onion and cook 2–3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Add tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Simmer 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return potatoes to the skillet and gently stir to combine with the chili mixture.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly over the top. Cover and cook 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Garnish if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Best served immediately, but leftovers store sealed in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free tomato sauce and beef broth.
- Swap in ground turkey for a lighter option, if desired.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of hot chili powder or jalapeño.
