A comforting and hearty one-pan meal featuring seasoned ground beef, potatoes, and a tangy sloppy joe sauce, all baked to perfection in a skillet.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and bell peppers, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and yellow mustard. Stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the sloppy joe mixture. Spread the mixture into an even layer.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (if desired) and serve hot directly from the skillet. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sloppy joe mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
