Begin by gathering your ingredients for the One-Pan Cheesy Meat & Potato Skillet. Chop the onion and garlic finely, and wash and quarter the potatoes to ensure they cook evenly. As you prepare, preheat your skillet over medium heat so it’s ready for the ground beef once you finish chopping.

In your preheated skillet, add the ground beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s nicely browned and fully cooked. Season the meat generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried oregano for that flavorful base.

Once the beef is cooked, stir in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Add the quartered potatoes to the skillet, carefully mixing them into the beef mixture. Cover the pan with a lid and allow it to cook for about 20 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

After the potatoes are tender, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over the mixture in the skillet. Cover the skillet again and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts into a gooey, delightful topping.

Once the cheese has melted beautifully, it’s time to serve! You can dish out your One-Pan Cheesy Meat & Potato Skillet directly from the pan for a casual meal or plate it elegantly for your family.
