Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 3 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or red)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Dice bell peppers, onion, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Mince the garlic finely to quickly release its aromatic flavor during cooking.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if needed to prevent greasiness.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the browned beef. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and peppers soften slightly.
  4. Add Potatoes and Seasonings: Stir in the diced potatoes along with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat all ingredients evenly with the spices.
  5. Pour in Diced Tomatoes and Simmer: Add the canned diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and flavors meld, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Final Adjustments and Serve: Once potatoes are soft and the mixture has thickened, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot directly from the pot for maximum comfort and simplicity.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground paprika and cumin for more intense and authentic flavor.
  • Allow onions and peppers to soften fully during sautéing to bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Cut all vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
  • Simmer gently at low heat to allow potatoes to absorb flavors without disintegrating.
  • Let the hash rest a few minutes off heat before serving to enhance flavor development.
