Print Recipe

One Pan Cheesy Ground Beef and Potatoes is the ultimate comfort food! Crispy potatoes, savory ground beef, and loads of melted cheese — all made in one skillet with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp chili powder (optional)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Remove potatoes and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, brown the ground beef with diced onion and garlic until fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.
  3. Return the potatoes to the skillet and mix everything together.
  4. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
  5. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot straight from the skillet.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before frying.
  • Add bell peppers or mushrooms for more veggies.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully in the oven.
