- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced (optional)

Instructions
- Cook the Meat – In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Sauté the Veggies – Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then stir in the chopped onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Potatoes & Seasonings – Stir in diced potatoes, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and chili powder. Mix well to coat the potatoes in the seasoning.
- Simmer – Pour in the beef broth, cover the skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender.
- Finish & Serve – If using cheese, sprinkle it on top and let it melt. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Use sweet potatoes for a healthier twist.
- Swap ground beef for turkey or sausage for different flavors.
- Add frozen peas or corn for extra veggies.
- Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
