A hearty one-pan skillet featuring crispy potatoes, savory ground beef, and gooey cheddar cheese — perfect for a fast, comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)

  • 3 cups diced Yukon Gold potatoes (½-inch pieces)

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced

  • 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley or green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10–12 minutes until browned and tender. Remove and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Sauté onion and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds.

  • Add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 6–8 minutes. Season with paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  • Return potatoes to the pan. Stir to combine all ingredients.

  • Top with shredded cheese. Cover and cook on low until cheese melts, about 3–4 minutes. Optional: broil for 2 minutes for a bubbly top.

  • Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap beef for turkey or vegetarian meat substitute.

  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for spice.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days.
