When I don't feel like cooking, my husband makes this! Quick & easy ground beef and potato dinner

Even if you love cooking for your family, some nights you just run out of energy! When I need a break from the kitchen, my husband takes over to make his absolute favorite weeknight comfort meal. This one-pan ground beef and potato dinner is a lifesaver for busy evenings. It is incredibly hearty, rich in flavor, and completely foolproof. Everything simmers together in a single pot to create a perfectly cozy, homestyle meal. It is made with simple, everyday ingredients—and while the recipe calls for beef broth, using water works perfectly fine too, making it an easy option to throw together with whatever you have on hand. Whether you are feeding hungry kids, looking for a lazy dinner idea, or just craving classic comfort food, this savory skillet hits the spot every single time.
