Easy Potato Ground Beef Recipe

Easy Potato Ground Beef Recipe – I made this for the first time last night and I'm very glad I did. It was quick, easy and delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef, along with some diced tomato and green bell pepper. I also added half a packet of meatloaf seasoning. It was a big hit!!! My husband absolutely loved it. Next time I'll try it with some taco seasoning. Enjoy!
