Ingredients
1 lb (454 g) Ground Beef (80/20 or 90/10 recommended)
2 cups (approx. 300-350g) diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet, ½-inch dice)
1/2 cup (120 ml) Sloppy Joe Sauce (ensure no prohibited ingredients)
1/4 cup (approx. 28 g) shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 tbsp (15 ml) Olive Oil or Vegetable Oil (if needed)
2 tbsp (30 ml) Water
Salt, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet.
Break up the beef with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain excess fat if necessary. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet with the beef.
Stir to combine the potatoes with the beef and rendered fat.
Add the water, cover the skillet, and reduce heat to medium.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the sloppy joe sauce, mixing well with the beef and potatoes.
Continue to cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through and thicken slightly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the skillet for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
Serve hot directly from the skillet.
Notes
Ensure your sloppy joe sauce is free from pork, bacon, ham, lard, or alcohol.
Adjust seasoning to your preference.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the salt and pepper.
Grating your own cheese often results in better melting.
This dish is best served immediately.
