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.

I thought the husband was going to prepare this meal?
Should add more oil to your goulash.
I kept thinking – use a slow cooker. All those ingredients for a normal lunch/evening meal? Who has time for all that?!!
If you are on a budget and cant afford the cubed beef this is a great alternative! Very filling! Serve over rice or potato if you want to make it even more hearty!
I'm guessing we have different ideas about what quick and easy means.
When I don't feel like cooking, my husband makes this wtf? 😂😂😂😂
Tell your husband not to tie his shirt in a knot in front.
Main dish is like a picadillo. Salad is like a guacamole. Looks delicious.
What a wonderful and quick dinner. Thank you!
Noone in my family likes cucumbers, so that salad would be out of the question. We do love avocados 🥑 so my mom makes an avocado salad with red onions, lime, olive oil and black pepper.
Lecker!
I wonder what she cooks when she feels like it.
Mniam 😋
Like your husbands clothes! Quick, seriously you’ve just spent an hour cooking
I would add this meal over some hot rice to get all that rich gravy. 🤤
Looks great and so nicely edited.
😛
You have to real careful these days, this is the typical third party influence you see on YouTube. Unfortunately people on this channel will miss represent themselves to get hits.
Looks absolutely divine ❤
Sure has dainty hands for a guy 😊
These cooking videos are made with AI, right?
i would add a green pepper
Damn yoir husband got some pretty ass nails huh…
960ml of broth, got it. I might go wild and use a full liter. But that is just me. 😉
Love savoury mince, I make it all the time but you can keep the avocado salad, I just don't get why people like it, the texture, the taste, just yuk lol.
If she didn't feel like cooking, why is she doing all the cooking?
Your husband fixes this? He sure has feminine hands!
would enjoy reading the recipe….
It wasn't until I got married that I learned that the combination of beef, potatoes, and carrots was one of the simplest, tastiest, and most filling meals ever. Whether it's a roast for Sunday dinner, or ground beef for a regular weekday, it's always delicious!
And you can toss in some green peas to make it "healthy."
For fun, after chopping something, put on a band aid in the next take.
The ground beef in the UK is disgusting. Start cooking it and swimming in frothy water, look grey and smells like a cadaver. Keep going and the water eventually evaporates but having seen what it looked like prior it puts me off eating it. Did look at buying the real stuff, from organic farm but that's more expensive than steak. Pisses me off why Super markets get water and crap injected into all their minced beef
they should at least offer some without even if it costs a bit more. Most of the Super market bacon is the same but you get get 'dry cured' if you pay extra.
That's not cooking lol..try raw oatmeal…green apples and nuts ..that's not cooking
I love easy one pan or pot meals!
