10 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
11 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

# Instructions:

04 - Pour in the beef broth, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10–12 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally.
05 - Remove the lid, pour in the heavy cream, and stir. Simmer uncovered for another 3–5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
06 - Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, cover the skillet again, and let sit for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
07 - Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

# Notes:

01 - You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or sausage.
02 - Add chopped spinach or peas in the last few minutes of cooking for extra vegetables.
03 - Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
