Cheeseburger Hashbrown Skillet

Turns out browned ground beef, potatoes and cheese isn’t the sexiest thing to photograph…

BUT HOLY COW IS IT DELICIOUS!

I caught one boy licking his plate clean…seriously.

And I adore this…and wonder and simple “meat and potatoes” skillet meal that you’re gonna love!

(Also, I highly recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese here…it adds a lovely flavor punch!)
