Okay this cheesy potato taco skillet is definitely going in the regular rotation. SO filling, easy to make, and yum!
This was a huge gestational diabetes win for me because it was SUCH a yummy dinner and my numbers were well within range. I will absolutely be making this again. I used Wegmans brand frozen potatoes, the country style ones, and couldn’t believe how delicious they were! Made this dish even easier since I did have to chop any potatoes, and they cooked up really well.
Serves: 4 | Prep time: 5 min | Cook time: 20-25 mins
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen diced potatoes (18-24 oz, whatever you can find will work!)
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey (I used 90/10 beef)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1.5 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 bell pepper, diced small
- 1 small onion diced small
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup sour cream (+ more for topping)
- Toppings of choice: salsa, avocado, lettuce, crushed tortilla chips
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add the frozen potatoes in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes until tender and lightly crispy. Remove potatoes from the pan and set aside.
- To the same pan, add the ground meat, peppers, and onions, and cook until meat is browned and veggies translucent, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
- Once cooked, stir in your drained and rinsed black beans.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4-1/2 cup water. Mix everything together and let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add back in your potatoes. Mix in sour cream and half of your shredded cheese until combined and melted.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top, cover the skillet, and let it melt for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve with any toppings you like!
This is our skillet we used. Truly love this pan so much (and so many others in their line!) I know they can get mixed reviews, but we have had nothing but a wonderful experience with their cookware so far! The code IVYROSE10 will get you a discount 🙂 This is the veggie chopper we used!
