A hearty and satisfying one-pan creamy ground beef and potato skillet dinner that comes together quickly for busy weeknights. This comfort food favorite is simple to make with common ingredients and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a quicker potato cooking time, you can parboil the diced potatoes for 5 minutes before adding them to the skillet.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or corn in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe is a great example of simple meal planning for busy families.
