Easy one-pan cheesy meat and potatoes skillet recipe packed with flavor, perfect for quick, hearty family dinners in just 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (or turkey, chicken, or pork)

  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 1 bell pepper, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup beef broth (or chicken broth)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  • Cook the Potatoes:
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    Add diced potatoes and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and brown.
    Remove from skillet and set aside.

  • Brown the Meat:
    In the same skillet, cook the ground meat over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula.
    Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until fully browned. Drain excess fat if needed.

  • Sauté Vegetables and Add Seasonings:
    Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the meat.
    Stir in paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

  • Combine and Simmer:
    Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet.
    Pour in the broth and stir to mix everything together.
    Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the potatoes are fully tender and the liquid has reduced slightly.

  • Add Cheese:
    Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the mixture.
    Cover and let it melt for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbly and golden.

 

  • Serve:
    Garnish with parsley if desired and serve hot.
