Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
4 medium potatoes, diced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 orange bell pepper, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
Cook the Beef
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
Add the Vegetables
Stir in the sliced bell peppers, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened.
Make It Cheesy
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2–3 minutes until gooey and bubbly.
Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot. Pair it with a simple salad or warm bread for a complete meal!
Tips
Add jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Swap cheddar with mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for extra flavor.
You can bake the casserole in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes for an extra crispy cheesy top.
Comforting, cheesy, and loaded with flavor — this dish is guaranteed to become a family favorite!
