Cooking the One-Pan Cheesy Meat & Potato Skillet is a straightforward process that yields an absolutely satisfying meal. Follow these clear steps:

1. Gather Ingredients: Make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Meat: Add the ground beef or turkey. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
4. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
5. Add Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes, mixing well with the meat and onion mixture.
6. Pour in Broth: Add the broth to the skillet, ensuring the potatoes are mostly submerged. Bring to a boil.
7. Simmer: Lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
8. Add Cheese: Once the potatoes are cooked through, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top. Cover again and let the cheese melt for about 5 minutes.
9. Check Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt and pepper if preferred.
10. Garnish: Remove from heat. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and flavor.
