Recipe Collection: Taco Potatoes

admin October 3, 2013

Written by Kate Tietje

When I was on the trip with the wonderful people at Redmond Clay/Real Salt, they had some seriously delicious food.  Some dishes involved layering potatoes with meat, veggies, cheese, and spices, which were especially yummy.  I used these ideas as a jumping-off point to create my meat-and-potatoes layered dish, which became taco potatoes.

It’s simple to put together; it can be baked quickly or slowly, and great for a party.  I would normally layer cheese in it, too, but we had friends over who are dairy-free, so I skipped that and put a little on at serving for those of us who could eat it.  It’s yummy, regardless.

Taco Potatoes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped (any color)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp. taco seasoning (I use my homemade taco seasoning)
  • 2 – 3 lbs. of potatoes, sliced
  • 8 oz. pepper jack cheese (or cheddar)

Directions:

Step 1: Brown the ground beef.

Step 2: When it’s done, add the peppers and onions.

Step 3: While this is cooking (stir and let it soften), place a layer of the potatoes in a 9×13 pan.

Step 4: When the mixture is cooked and veggies are tender, add the taco seasoning and stir well.

Step 5: Pour about 1/3 of the meat over the potatoes and spread it out.  Sprinkle with cheese.

Step 6: Layer more potatoes, more meat, more cheese.  You will do 3 layers.

Step 7: Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes.

Step 8: Remove from the oven, remove the foil, and it’s done!  Super easy.  Serve with green onions, sour cream, more cheese, or your favorite toppings.

  2. This looks so yummy! I want to let you know I would love to see you do a simple blog post on cooking with grassfed beef in skillet vs normal ground beef from store. I have been researching to see if you need to add some fat to it to cook it in skillet. I have not found any articles online that relate to this. We currently to do use grassfed beef yet. We are planning to make the switch soon. I feel others might could use the help learning the difference of cooking with grassfed beef. This is just a suggestion! I love your blog and I learn so much from it. I appreciate all the wealth of information you share!
