This is a fast, super-easy, super-cheesy dish. I "invented" it tonight because I wanted a Philly sandwich, but didn't have the right ingredients. Hubby liked this dish because it's a meat and potatoes meal, the kids liked it because it has cheese. To make the dish lower-fat, use fat-free cream cheese and leave out the provolone. Instead of frying the potatoes, spray them with cooking oil and bake them on a non-stick cookie sheet in a 425 degree oven for about 30-45 minutes, turning once or twice (if cut smaller they will cook faster).

Ingredients For ground beef philly skillet

  • 1 md
    green bell pepper
  • 1/2 md
    onion
  • 4 md
    potatoes
  • 2 - 3 Tbsp
    cooking oil
  • 1 lb
    ground beef
  • 4 oz
    fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 4 oz
    cream cheese
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 slice
    provolone cheese (optional)

How To Make ground beef philly skillet

  • 1
    Dice green pepper and onion into 1/2 inch pieces or larger, depending on your preference.
  • 2
    Peel and wash potatoes. Cut into 1-inch chunks. If desired, place potato chunks in a bowl of water for a few minutes to an hour to remove some of the starch. Drain well.
  • 3
    Add potato chunks in a single layer to hot oil in a large skillet and cover. Cook potatoes for 8-10 minutes on medium to medium-high heat, turning a couple of times until browned and medium-soft. When the potatoes are done, move to a colander or paper towel to drain the remaining oil. Keep warm by transferring to a cookie sheet and putting them into a warm (200 degree) oven.
  • 4
    While potatoes are cooking, in an oven-proof skillet brown ground beef with onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms, stirring occasionally. When beef is no longer pink, drain fat.
  • 5
    Add cream cheese in chunks to the ground meat mixture along with the salt and pepper. Stir until cream cheese is melted.
  • 6
    Add potatoes to ground beef/cream cheese mixture and toss gently.
  • 7
    If desired, top with slices of provolone cheese.
  • 8
    Place under the broiler until the cheese melts. Serve on plates or in bowls with sliced tomatoes, salad, or another vegetable of your choice, and perhaps some dinner rolls.
