Instructions
Creating this One-Pan Cheesy Meat & Potato Skillet is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook Meat: Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet and brown until fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Make sure to break it apart as it cooks to ensure even browning.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
4. Incorporate Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and mix well with the meat and vegetables.
5. Season: Sprinkle the paprika, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste over the mixture. Stir well to combine.
6. Add Broth: Pour in the beef broth, cover, and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring it to a simmer.
7. Cook: Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
8. Add Cheese: Remove the lid and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Cover again until the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
