A comforting bowl filled with roasted potatoes, savory ground beef, and fresh vegetables, perfect for quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/23/4-inch cubes
  • 1 cup mixed fresh vegetables (e.g., diced bell peppers, sliced zucchini, spinach)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for tossing potatoes)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sliced avocado, hot sauce, or a drizzle of sour cream/Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Set oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. Roast potatoes: Toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once until golden and tender.
  3. Brown the beef: While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until no pink remains, about 6–8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add vegetables: Push the beef to one side, add a splash of oil if the pan is dry, and add the mixed vegetables. Cook for 3–5 minutes until just tender but still vibrant. Stir to combine.
  5. Assemble bowls: Place roasted potatoes in the base of each bowl. Spoon the beef-and-veg mixture on top.
  6. Finish and serve: Add optional toppings like shredded cheese, sliced avocado, or your favorite sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Swap ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein. Use sweet potatoes for a different twist. Frozen mixed vegetables can be used if fresh aren’t available.
