Four ground beef and potato recipes in one video. This collection is ideal for those evenings when you have some ground beef at home, but are not quite sure what to prepare for dinner.
😋 0:00 Recipe #1 Easy Ground Beef and Potato Stew
The first recipe is a ground beef and potato stew. If you love stews but don’t have the time (or patience) to wait 2–3 hours for the meat to cook properly, this is a much quicker way to make one. The secret is simply to use minced beef instead of tougher cuts of meat.

😋 4:22 Recipe #2 Ground Beef & Potatoes Stroganoff
For the second recipe, I make Stroganoff with potatoes. I usually think of Stroganoff with pasta or potatoes on the side, but one day I decided to cook the potatoes directly in the sauce instead. The result? No leftovers whatsoever! 😊

😋 9:05 Recipe #3 Just Potato and Ground beef! Simple and So Delicious!
The third recipe is my husband’s specialty. He’s not much of a cook, as filming and editing takes up most of his time. But whenever he is inspired to make us lunch or dinner, this simple combination of ground beef and potatoes is usually his choice. There are only a few ingredients in it, but somehow it always disappears very quickly.

😋 13:00 Recipe #4 One-Pan Creamy Ground Beef & Potato Skillet
To finish, I make a one-pan ground beef dinner with potatoes and fresh mushrooms. I add a little cream at the end, and sometimes some cheese too. Most of the preparation is simply chopping the vegetables, then everything cooks together in the same pan.

Although all four recipes use ground beef and potatoes, the final dishes are quite different from one another. Hopefully one of them will give you an idea for dinner this week.

the only seasoning or spice I don't like is Curry ..
garlic and white pepper are probably my 2 fav spices ….
Number 4 probably would be my favorite. I love mushrooms.

Zodiac sign is Virgo – September 4. I have never had much interest in cooking. And when it comes to a meal, I rarely have a great desire for something special. I despise spicy food and prefer simple things. I have been that way for the 83 years of my life! Maybe that's why I have reached 83?
such tasty and protein packed recipe!😍😋
So many yummy beef recipes for everyone to enjoy! Everyone have a happy and safe holiday! Cancer sign here. You’re a Cancer or Taurus? 1 and 2 are my favs, but all are amazing!! Lets get cooking” 🙌🫵🏆🙏🤩
