Creating this delightful One-Pan Cheesy Meat & Potato Skillet is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Meat: Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
3. Add Onions and Garlic: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onions become translucent.
4. Season: Add the paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
5. Add Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes, allowing them to mingle with the seasoned meat mixture.
6. Pour Broth: Pour in the beef broth, ensuring the potatoes are mostly covered. Bring to a boil.
