Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet

Ingredients

• 4.5 small potatoes (Diced; source specifies 4–5 small potatoes.)
• 1.5 lb ground beef
• 6 bacon (Cooked until crispy and crumbled.)
• 1 small onion (Diced.)
• 2 cloves garlic (Minced.)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (Use if needed for cooking the potatoes.)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• salt (To taste.)
• black pepper (To taste.)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup beef broth
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• parsley (Optional garnish.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Remove it from the skillet and set it aside; crumble it when cool enough to handle.

2. 2

   Using the same skillet and the bacon fat, add the diced potatoes. Add the olive oil if needed. Cook until the potatoes are golden on the outside and fork-tender.

3. 3

   Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, until softened.

4. 4

   Add the ground beef and break it apart as it cooks. Continue cooking until the beef is browned.

5. 5

   Add the minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and season the beef mixture.

6. 6

   Pour in the beef broth and let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes so the flavors come together.

7. 7

   Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and mix them into the beef mixture.

8. 8

   Scatter the crumbled crispy bacon over the top, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over everything.

9. 9

   Cover the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese is melted, hot, and bubbly.

10. 10

    Serve hot, optionally garnished with parsley.

Notes

The source does not specify skillet size, burner heat, or exact cooking times for the bacon, potatoes, or beef beyond the stated simmering and cheese-melting times. Cook the ground beef thoroughly before serving.
