20 Minute Ground Beef Skillet: Cheesy

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and has developed a deep mahogany-colored sear.
3. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside, leaving the rendered fat behind.
4. In the same skillet, toss in the diced onions and potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
5. Sauté for 7–9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden-brown on the edges and the onions are translucent.
6. Stir in the minced garlic during the last 60 seconds until fragrant.
7. Return the browned beef to the skillet.
8. Pour in the beef broth and immediately cover with a lid for 2 minutes to steam the potatoes.
9. Remove the lid, sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly across the top, and turn off the heat.
10. Let the residual heat melt the cheese into a gooey, bubbly layer, then garnish with fresh parsley.
