Ground meat and potatoes in one pot

Economical, easy, and filling recipe.  

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
450 g ground beef 
1 small yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup chicken broth
1 large russet potato, peeled and diced
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup chopped green onions
Cream cheese, for serving (optional)
Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Step-by-step instructions

1.  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil starts to shimmer, add the meat, onion, garlic, and bell pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned and the onion has softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Add the salt, paprika, oregano, onion powder, tomato paste, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Add the chicken broth and potatoes and stir. Increase the heat to high and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Cover again and let stand until the cheese has melted, about 3 to 4 minutes.
3.  Garnish with the green onions and serve with the cream cheese and hot sauce, if desired.
