Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)

- 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: Wash and dice them into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook the beef: 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.
- Sauté the vegetables: 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 softened.
- Combine the ingredients: Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cook the potatoes: Add the diced potatoes, stirring to combine. Pour in about ½ cup of water, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Check for doneness: Remove the lid and check that the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Add cheese (optional): Sprinkle shredded cheese on top during the last couple of minutes, covering to melt.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Keep an eye on the potatoes to avoid overcooking. Fresh ingredients enhance flavor significantly.
