How to Make Ground Beef and Potatoes?
- The first step is to cut and peel your potatoes. Yes, I have a photo of the potato for you to refer to. They don’t need to be perfect, but I would like you to be able to see that they should be cut in a small amount so that they cook in 10 minutes. After they’ve been diced, throw them in a bowl, then put them aside.
- Cut up the remainder of your vegetables. Again take a picture so you’re able to see. It’s a good idea to cut them into small pieces here.
- Then, add your broth and potatoes! It is best to cook on medium/medium-low during this stage. You should see some light boiling however, don’t overcook or the potatoes will become mushy.
- After the potatoes have cooked until they are fork-tender, you can take the pot from the stove. Add the cheddar and cream cheese carefully to ensure that you don’t smash your potatoes.
- One last thing to note, there may be a little liquid left over after you’ve stirred into the cheeses. This is fine, as it will thicken a bit more after it has been sitting for around three to five minutes.
