Ground Beef And Potatoes

Category: Beef

2 Tbsp canola oil
1 lb potatoes peeled and diced into ¼" cubes
1 lb ground beef
1 small yellow onion diced
1 red bell pepper diced
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp kosher salt plus additional to taste
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 to 2 tsp hot sauce plus additional for serving
2 green onions sliced
FOR SERVING: non-fat plain Greek yogurt or sour cream shredded cheddar cheese, cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice


1. Heat the oil in a skillet large enough to hold all of the ingredients over high heat. Once the oil is hot and shiny, reduce the heat to medium, then add the potatoes. Cook, stirring often, until the potatoes are turning golden and becoming tender (they should still be too firm to eat), about 6 minutes.
2. Add the beef, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, breaking apart the meat.
3. Add the Worcestershire, mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and hot sauce (add 1 teaspoon if you prefer only subtle heat, more if you would like it spicier).
4. Continue cooking and breaking up the beef, until the potatoes and onions are tender and the meat is fully cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes more.
