One Pan Potato & Beef

This is a simple, basic recipe to combine beef & potatoes to create a meal that is a great base for dinner when combined with a salad or your favourite vegetables.

This recipe is a mixture of beef with both ‘standard’ potato and sweet potato. What transforms this meal from the basic ingredients to something far more flavoursome is the addition of a range of spices. Topped with a sprinkling of cheese for a great finish. Chili is added to create a mild spiciness. Change the amount of chili to your preference.

A simple, easy to make dinner all cooked in one pan. Definitely a recipe you will make again.
