# Ingredients:
01 -
1 tbsp unsalted butter
02 -
1 tbsp olive oil
03 -
1.1 pounds lean ground beef
04 -
2 Romano peppers, or use bell peppers - finely chopped
05 -
1.8 pounds starchy white potatoes
06 -
1 yellow onion - diced small
07 -
2 garlic cloves - finely minced
08 -
½ tsp chili flakes
09 -
2 tbsp tomato paste (double concentrated)
10 -
1 tsp sweet paprika
11 -
½ tsp salt
12 -
1 tsp Italian seasoning blend
13 -
1 tsp black pepper
14 -
2 cups chicken stock
15 -
1 ½ cups cheddar - shredded
16 -
2 tbsp fresh parsley - chopped, plus extra to serve
# Instructions:
01 -
Peel the potatoes, then slice them in half lengthwise and cut into ¼-inch (0.5 cm) pieces. Dice the onion and parsley nice and fine, and mince the garlic. Halve and deseed the Romano peppers, then slice into thin strips.
02 -
Melt the butter with olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the potato slices in and cook until the edges turn crispy and golden, about 6 minutes. Set them aside.
03 -
In the same skillet, toss in the Romano peppers. Stir for 3 minutes until they soften a bit. Add the ground beef, crumble it up, and brown the meat slightly, which should take about 2 minutes.
04 -
Mix in the onion and garlic, letting them cook for 2 minutes, just until you can really smell them. Sprinkle in the salt, chili flakes, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir everything together with the tomato paste.
05 -
Toss the potatoes back in with some parsley. Stir lightly, then pour in the chicken stock. Cover it, lower the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes until the potatoes become fork-tender. Take the lid off and cook a little longer to let the liquid evaporate.
06 -
Take your shredded cheddar, sprinkle it generously on top, and pop the lid back on. Wait until the heat melts it to gooey perfection.
07 -
Sprinkle some extra parsley and chili flakes over the top for color. Serve it hot with a fresh salad on the side and dig in!
