Beef Potatoes Skillet (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 2 Romano peppers, chopped (or substitute bell peppers)
04 - 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
05 - ½ tsp chili flakes
06 - 1 yellow onion, finely diced
07 - 1 tsp black pepper
08 - 1.1 pounds lean ground beef
09 - 1 tsp sweet paprika
10 - ½ tsp salt
11 - 1 tsp Italian seasoning blend
12 - 1.8 pounds starchy potatoes, such as white potatoes
13 - 2 cups chicken broth
14 - 2 tbsp double-concentrated tomato paste
15 - 1 ½ cups grated cheddar cheese
16 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for topping)

# Instructions:

01 - Before starting, prep your ingredients. Peel and halve the potatoes lengthwise, then slice them into thin, quarter-inch pieces. Chop the parsley and onion finely, and mince the garlic. Cut the Romano peppers in half, remove the seeds, and slice them thin.
02 - Melt butter and warm the oil together in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the potato slices for roughly 6 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they turn golden. Take them out and set aside.
03 - Using the same skillet, throw in the peppers and cook for about 3 minutes until they start to soften. Add the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
04 - Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Stir occasionally and cook for 2 minutes or until you can smell the garlic. Sprinkle in salt, chili flakes, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir in the tomato paste to combine.
05 - Carefully add the parsley and cooked potatoes to the skillet. Stir gently until everything is coated. Pour in the chicken broth, cover, and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, letting the potatoes become tender. Remove the lid and simmer until the liquid reduces.
06 - Sprinkle the grated cheddar over everything. Put the lid back on and let the cheese fully melt before serving.
07 - Sprinkle with more parsley and some chili flakes, if you like. Serve while it's hot with a fresh side salad!

# Notes:

01 - A comforting mix of ground beef, sliced potatoes, and peppers, topped with melted cheddar.
02 - It’s all made in one skillet and comes together in just 30 minutes. Super tasty and easy!
