Ingredients
Scale
- 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

Instructions
- Cook the Beef:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add ground beef and season with ½ tbsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp thyme, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
- Cook until browned (about 5 minutes), breaking it apart with a spoon. Transfer to a plate.
- Cook the Potatoes:
- In the same skillet, add potatoes and remaining spices (½ tbsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp thyme, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper).
- Pour in beef stock, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
- Sauté Vegetables:
- Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Combine & Finish:
- Return beef to the skillet. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Cook for 1–2 minutes to blend flavors. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve:
- Garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy hot!
Notes
- Potato Choice: Yukon gold potatoes hold their shape well, but russet potatoes can also be used (just adjust cooking time).
- Extra Flavor: Add a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes for depth or heat.
- Meat Variations: Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Storage: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of broth to refresh.
