Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup beef stock or water
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 – 3 green onions, chopped
Spices:
- 1 tablespoon cumin, divided
- 2 teaspoons paprika, divided
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
Instructions
-
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with half of the cumin, paprika, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add the cubed potatoes, the remaining seasonings, and stir to coat. Pour in the beef stock or water, cover, and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
- Combine and Finish: Return the cooked beef mixture to the skillet. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, mixing everything well. Let cook for another 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve warm. Enjoy as a hearty breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
Notes
- For crispier potatoes, allow them to brown in the skillet uncovered for the last few minutes.
- If you like spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in a skillet for best texture.
- Swap ground beef for turkey, sausage, or even mushrooms for a different take.
