Ingredients

Scale

1 lb lean ground beef
4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

Prep your ingredients by chopping the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Dice the potatoes into small cubes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes.
Increase heat slightly and add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula for about 8 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
Stir in minced garlic, paprika, and Italian seasoning; cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add diced potatoes to the skillet, mixing well. Cover with a lid to steam for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the cooked mixture, covering again until melted (approximately 3-5 minutes). Serve hot.
