Scale
When crafting ground beef dishes, having the right ingredients is key. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon chili powder for a bit of heat
Feel free to swap the bell pepper for zucchini or mushrooms if you prefer. The beauty of this dish is its adaptability to what you have on hand.
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, around 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Incorporate the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and chili powder if using.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes. The flavors will meld beautifully, creating a rich and hearty sauce.
- Check the seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
