Ingredients
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 2-2 ½ lbs potatoes I used russet - approx 5-6 medium-sized potatoes
- 1 ¼ lbs lean ground beef
- 1 bell pepper chopped - I used red for the pop of color
- 1 jalapeno chopped
- 1 sweet onion chopped
- 4 oz mushrooms chopped - I used the gourmet blend
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp your favorite all purpose seasoning I used DUST by VooDoo Chef
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 cups whole Florida Milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- chopped parsley for garnish if desired
Instructions
- Cut the potatoes lengthwise in half and slice into ¼ inch thick slices.
- Heat butter in a dutch oven or large non-stick skillet over medium high. Add potatoes and cook for about 8 minutes, until they just start to get tender. Stir frequently. Remove from the dutch oven/skillet and set aside.
- To the same dutch oven, add peppers and onions and cook for 3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add ground beef, and cook until slightly browned.
- Add garlic, mushrooms, seasoning and tomato paste. Stir well.
- Add the sliced potatoes, stir gently until combined.
- Pour in whole milk, cover with lid and cook for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. *If it appears to have too much liquid, leave the lid off for another 5 minutes to allow it to evaporate some.
- When ready, sprinkle cheddar on top and toss in the broiler for a minute or two to get that nice cheesy topping.
- Top with parsley if desired.
- Serve with a big glass of Florida Milk and a simple side salad.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Get all the prep done before you start cooking. Cooking time for the potatoes may vary depending on how thick you cut your slices. Make sure the potatoes are tender before serving. To potentially lessen cooking time, pop the potatoes in the microwave (make sure you poke holes in them first!) for a minute or two.
