Calories: 500kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef*
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 14- ounce can diced tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic divided
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning divided, plus more for sprinkling on potatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large potatoes unpeeled
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
Instructions
- Brown meat in a large skillet. Add the chopped onion towards the end and cook until the onion is translucent.
- Add the tomatoes, 1½ teaspoons of the garlic, 1½ teaspoons of the Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue simmering for 5 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, preheat an oven broiler and prepare potatoes by cutting them into 1/4" slices lengthwise and placing in a single layer on a broiler pan. Pierce with a fork, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with more of the Cajun seasoning.
- Broil 3" to 6" from heat for about 8 to 10 minutes (until starting to brown), then turn the potatoes and cook until browned and tender when pierced, another 5-10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are broiling, prepare the topping by combining the yogurt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic and 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning in a small bowl.
- To serve: on 4 plates arrange 4-5 potato slices to the side, fanned out. Divide the meat mixture between the plates, mounding it next to the potatoes and then top each mound with a spoonful of the yogurt mixture.
Notes
