Greek One-Pot Meal with Potato and Minced Beef

What do you need for this Greek Ground Beef Skillet?

To prepare this dinner with potatoes and minced beef, you need the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:

• Potatoes - Use waxy potatoes such as Red Adirondack, French fingerling, and Red Bliss. Cut them into cubes, cook them in boiling water for 10 minutes, and rinse. Or use store-bought potato cubes. They are already pre-cooked, so you can skip that step.
• Bacon - Give a salty bite to this one-pot meal. You can also replace them with fried mushrooms or extra sun-dried tomatoes for a vegetarian recipe.
• Zucchini - Are fresh zucchini boring? No, it is a super versatile vegetable. You can use it in different ways: zucchini boats, zucchini fries, or as a quiche. But cut it into thin slices and put it in the pot, which will be so tasty.
• Thyme - Use thyme to add lots of flavor to this casserole. You can also replace the thyme with rosemary.
• Butter - Use unsalted butter.
• Ground beef - Ground beef (minced beef) has a lot of flavor and fits well in this oven dish. But you can also opt for chicken or minced lamb.
• Paprika powder - Has a spicy taste, which adds umami to the sauce.
• Raisins - The fruity sweet filling. Let them soak overnight or for 15 minutes in hot water and drain. That way, they won't burn.
• Cherry tomatoes - Buy the tastiest Cherry tomatoes you can get your hands on. They have a lot of flavors, and the flavor will enhance by roasting them. And because it defines the taste of this recipe (and is a true eye-catcher), this is highly recommended.

Yogurt-Cheese Topping

• Feta cheese - Is a Greek white soft cheese; it's creamy, salty, and tangy.
• Greek yogurt - This creamy yogurt is nice and thick.
