Description

One-Pan Creamy Cheesy Meat & Potato Skillet — crispy golden potatoes, seasoned meat, and melty cheese in a rich, comforting cream sauce!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 3 cups diced potatoes

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté diced potatoes, onion, and garlic for about 10 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
  • Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stir to combine, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Return the cooked beef to the skillet, stir everything together, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in cheddar cheese and stir until melted.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef with ground turkey or sausage for variation.

  • For extra crisp, broil the finished skillet under high for 2–3 minutes.

 

  • Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers store well for 2–3 days.
