How to Make Loaded Ground Beef and Potatoes Skillet
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF to ensure even cooking and a perfect bubbly, golden layer on top!
- Cook the bacon in a 12" cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess grease.
- Drain the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving a little for flavor. Add ground beef and cook until no pink remains, about 7-10 minutes. Mix in dry mustard, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Layer the skillet: Push the ground beef to one side, add sliced potatoes on the bottom. Cover with beef, repeat, and finish with remaining potatoes on top.
- Pour the skim milk over the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar generously on top.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, checking for little liquid left and ensuring cheese is bubbling and slightly browned around the edges.
- Cool the skillet for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, top with crumbled bacon and chopped green onion.
