# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
03 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
04 - 1 onion, finely chopped
05 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 2 tbsp olive oil
07 - 1 tsp paprika
08 - 1 tsp cumin
09 - Salt and pepper to taste
10 - 1/4 cup beef broth or water (optional)
11 - Chopped green onions for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
02 - Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
03 - Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. This should take about 5–7 minutes.
04 - Stir in the diced potatoes and red bell pepper. Season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
05 - If needed, pour in the beef broth or water to help steam the potatoes. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
06 - Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the lid and cook for a few more minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.
07 - Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
08 - Sprinkle chopped green onions over the dish before serving. Enjoy with a side salad or crusty bread!

# Notes:

01 - For a lighter version, substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based alternatives.
02 - Add extra veggies like zucchini, carrots, or spinach for added nutrition and color.
03 - Freeze leftovers in portions for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
