Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 20 oz Hash brown potatoes, frozen
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside the cooked beef.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the frozen hash brown potatoes, spreading them evenly across the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes without stirring, allowing the bottoms to crisp up.

Step 5

Flip the hash browns gently and cook for another 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the hash browns. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika, ensuring everything is coated evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook until the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 3 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the skillet. Cover with a lid and let the cheese melt, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
