Ingredients

Ground Beef:

1 pound

Medium Potatoes, diced:

4

Onion, chopped:

1

Cloves Garlic, minced:

2

Bell Pepper, chopped:

1

Paprika:

1 teaspoon

Dried Oregano:

1 teaspoon

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Olive Oil:

2 tablespoons

Beef Broth:

1 cup

Shredded Cheese (optional):

1 cup

Fresh Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  2. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Stir in diced potatoes, bell pepper, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Pour in beef broth, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
  5. If desired, sprinkle cheese on top, cover, and cook 2–3 more minutes until melted.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra richness, swap half the broth with heavy cream or milk.
  • Use red or gold potatoes for the best texture, as they hold their shape well.
  • Add chili flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
