Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled & diced into 1/2-inch cubes

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or paprika
- 1 quarter teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until no longer pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

- Pour in the beef broth and cover the skillet with a lid. Let it simmer over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
