Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 3 medium, diced russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 0.75 cup low-sodium beef broth
• 1 diced red bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Add the lean ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until well browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced potatoes and red bell pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to begin softening.

Step 6

Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the browned ground beef to the skillet, mixing it with the vegetables.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 10

Uncover, stir in the chopped parsley, and adjust any seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with more chopped parsley if desired.
