Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef (93% lean)
• 3 medium-sized russet potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and dice them into small 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 2

Chop the onion and red bell pepper. Mince the garlic if not using pre-minced.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking apart with a spatula, until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 7

Drain the potatoes and add them to the skillet. Stir to combine with the beef mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the beef broth and add the cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 9

Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley and sliced green onions.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
