# Instructions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Remove potatoes from skillet and set aside.
02 -
Using the same skillet, add the ground meat and cook over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and fully cooked, approximately 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
03 -
Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the meat. Stir in paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes until vegetables have softened.
04 -
Return cooked potatoes to the skillet. Pour in beef broth and stir well to combine. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes until the potatoes are tender and broth has slightly reduced.
05 -
Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the skillet mixture. Cover and allow cheese to melt for 2–3 minutes until bubbling and golden.
06 -
Top with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot from the skillet.
# Notes:
01 -
For a lighter dish, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken. Choose a cheese that melts easily for ideal texture.
