Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
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.
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.
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.
Flip the hash browns gently and cook for another 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
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.
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.
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.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
