• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the ground beef from the skillet using a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the pan, and set it aside.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, until it starts to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes and bell peppers to the skillet, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Return the ground beef to the skillet and mix it with the vegetables.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth and tomato paste until smooth. Pour the mixture over the beef and vegetables.

Step 9

Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine.

Step 10

Reduce heat to a simmer, cover the skillet, and let cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 11

Remove the cover and increase the heat to medium-high to let any excess liquid reduce, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot and enjoy!
