How to Make Cheesy One-Pot Beef and Potatoes

In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat for a healthier dish.
Add diced onions and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Stir frequently for about 3-5 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, then add the diced potatoes. Cover and let it simmer on medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Reduce heat to low, then add the milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
