One-Pan Creamy Meat & Potato Skillet

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground meat (beef, turkey, or sausage work well)
• 2 medium-sized potatoes, diced into small cubes
• 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella recommended)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
