Ingredients
- 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
- Prepare the potatoes by washing and dicing them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Cook the meat in a large skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Combine ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into the skillet. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cook the diced potatoes in the skillet with the other ingredients, add about ½ cup of water, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes until tender.
- Check for doneness by ensuring potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if it looks dry.
- Add shredded cheese on top during the last couple of minutes of cooking, if desired. Cover to melt the cheese.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for best texture. Adjust seasoning to taste.
