Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by washing and dicing the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the diced potatoes, stirring to combine everything well. Pour in about ½ cup of water, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the lid and check that the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if it looks dry.
- If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese on top during the last couple of minutes of cooking. Cover to melt the cheese.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Try adding a mix of diced veggies for extra flavor or use plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian option.
