Key Ingredients
- Ground meat: Beef, pork, or even turkey all work great—pick your favorite.
- Potatoes: Sliced thin so they cook quickly and soak up the sauce.
- Onions & garlic: For a fragrant, savory base.
- Cream or milk: To create that luscious, comforting sauce.
- Cheese (optional but recommended): Melty goodness that ties it all together.
- Seasonings: Salt, pepper, thyme, and a touch of paprika give it that cozy, home-cooked taste.
How It Comes Together
Start by browning the meat with onions and garlic until everything’s nice and fragrant. Toss in your sliced potatoes, then pour in the cream and seasonings. Cover and let it simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender and the sauce thickens into creamy perfection. Add cheese at the end if you’re feeling indulgent, and serve it hot straight from the pan.
Serving Suggestions
This skillet meal is hearty enough to stand on its own, but a side of green beans or a crisp salad can add some balance. It also pairs beautifully with crusty bread to mop up every bit of that creamy sauce.
