One-Pan Cheesy Meat Potato (Print-Friendly Version)

Hearty ground meat, potatoes, and cheese make an easy, family-favorite skillet that’s rich, savory, and satisfying.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 450 g ground beef (or ground turkey, chicken, or pork)
02 - 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
03 - 1 medium onion, chopped
04 - 1 bell pepper, chopped
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Seasonings

06 - 1 teaspoon paprika
07 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Liquids & Fat

11 - 240 ml beef broth (or chicken broth)
12 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Cheese & Garnish

13 - 100 g cheddar cheese, shredded (or preferred cheese)
14 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

# How to Prepare:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Remove potatoes and set aside.
02 - Add ground beef to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
03 - Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the cooked meat. Stir in paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are softened.
04 - Return cooked potatoes to the skillet. Add beef broth and stir to combine all ingredients. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes until potatoes are tender and liquid is slightly reduced.
05 - Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture. Cover and cook 2–3 minutes until cheese melts and becomes bubbly and golden.
06 - Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately while hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Try adding mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach for added variety and nutrition.
02 - Use your favorite cheese or a blend such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack for different flavor profiles.
03 - A dash of hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream can complement the finished dish.
