Beef Potatoes Skillet (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
02 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
03 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1/2 cup beef broth
05 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
06 - 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes, about half an inch each
07 - 1 pound lean ground beef (93/7)
08 - 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
09 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
10 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1 small yellow onion, chopped up nice and tiny
12 - 1 green bell pepper, chopped finely

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Move the skillet off the burner and hang tight for a bit. Letting it chill for just a few minutes really bumps up the flavor and makes everything taste better.
02 - Pop off the lid and toss all the cheddar cheese on top. Lid goes back on, just for a couple minutes, so the cheese gets all melty and gooey.
03 - Splash in your beef broth, slap a lid on, and drop the heat down a notch. Let it bubble gently for 15 or 20 minutes. Give it a stir now and then. You'll know it's ready when the potato cubes are easy to poke through.
04 - Bring in those potato cubes and all your seasonings—Worcestershire, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika. Give the skillet a good mix so everything gets coated.
05 - Dump in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic with the beef. Cook everything together for around five minutes. The veggies should get soft and smell awesome. Pour off any extra greasy stuff.
06 - Get your skillet hot over medium-high. Drop in the ground beef and crumble it up with a spatula. Cook until every bit of beef is browned and there’s no pink hanging around.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Cut your potatoes all about the same size. They'll cook up nicer that way.
