Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef: The foundation of this dish, ground beef provides hearty protein and rich flavor.
- 4 Russet Potatoes: These starchy potatoes become perfectly tender and fluffy when baked.
- 4 cloves Garlic: Minced garlic adds aromatic depth to the honey garlic sauce.
- ¼ cup Soy Sauce: Providing a savory umami note, soy sauce balances the sweetness of the honey.
- ⅓ cup Honey: The star ingredient, honey gives the sauce its signature sticky-sweet taste.
- 1 tsp Ground Ginger: A bit of ground ginger complements the honey and garlic flavors.
- Red Pepper Flakes (optional): For a touch of heat, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese: Shredded cheddar creates a beautifully melty, cheesy topping.
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil: Used to sauté the ground beef.
- Salt and Pepper: Season to taste.
- 2 Green Onions: Chopped green onions add a bright, fresh garnish.
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until it’s browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the cooked ground beef and stir to coat the meat evenly.
- Add the Potatoes: Toss the diced potatoes into the skillet with the beef and sauce, making sure the potatoes are well coated. Spread the mixture out in an even layer.
- Bake in the Oven: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Add the Cheese: Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Take the skillet out of the oven and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy your delectable One-Pan Honey Garlic Beef & Cheesy Potatoes!
