🍔🥔 Cheeseburger Potato Skillet 🧀🥓

All your favorite burger flavors come together in one hearty skillet! Crispy golden potatoes, savory ground beef, smoky bacon, and gooey melted cheese make this dish a family favorite. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for busy weeknights when you want comfort food without the fuss of burgers and fries separately.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs small potatoes, cubed

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 6 slices bacon, chopped

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 cup ketchup

  • 1/4 cup mustard

  • 1/4 cup pickles, chopped (optional)

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish

Directions

1. Prep and cook the potatoes

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

2. Cook the bacon

In the same skillet, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Remove the bacon and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

3. Brown the beef

Add the ground beef to the skillet with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain any excess grease.

4. Sauté onions and garlic

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened. This builds a rich base flavor for your skillet.

5. Combine ingredients

Return the cooked potatoes and bacon to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir in ketchup, mustard, and pickles (if using). Mix well so every bite gets that classic cheeseburger flavor.

6. Add the cheese

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid for 2–3 minutes to let the cheese melt perfectly. For an extra golden top, you can place the skillet under a broiler for 1–2 minutes.

7. Garnish and serve

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot, straight from the skillet, for a hearty, comforting meal that everyone will love!
