Instructions

Prep the Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into consistent 1/2-inch cubes and set aside
Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, draining off excess grease
Sauté Aromatics: Reduce heat to medium, add chopped onion and cook until softened. Stir in garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper, cooking for another minute
Simmer the Sloppy Joe Sauce: Add tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard and water or beef broth. Bring to a simmer
Add Potatoes and Cook: Add diced potatoes, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender
Optional Cheese Topping: Remove lid, sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top, and either cover to melt or broil for 2-3 minutes until bubbly
Serve: Let rest for a few minutes before serving and garnish with parsley if desired

Notes

Ensure to dice potatoes evenly for uniform cooking.

You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based alternatives.
