Ingredients
  

For the Beef and Potatoes
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Adds fat for cooking and enhances flavor; substitute with vegetable oil if needed.
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter Provides richness and creaminess; you can replace it with more olive oil for a dairy-free twist.
  • 1.8 pounds Potatoes Starchy potatoes like white work best for texture.
  • 2 Romano Peppers Contributes sweetness and vibrant color; feel free to swap with bell peppers.
  • 1.1 pounds Lean Ground Beef Acts as the main protein source; ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter option.
  • 1 Yellow Onion Enhances the overall flavor of the dish; chop finely for even cooking.
  • 2 Garlic Cloves Infuses the dish with aromatic depth; garlic powder works fine if needed.
  • 1 tsp Sweet Paprika Adds mild sweetness and color; smoked paprika works for a different flavor.
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Provides a hint of heat; adjust to your taste.
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning Brings herby flavors; can make your own seasoning blend.
  • 0.5 tsp Salt Essential for seasoning; adjust to taste.
  • 0.5 tsp Chili Flakes Gives a kick of heat; omit or reduce for milder flavor.
  • 2 tbsp Concentrated Tomato Paste Enhances umami; crushed tomatoes can be a substitute.
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Parsley Adds freshness; use cilantro if preferred.
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth The key cooking liquid; opt for vegetable broth for vegetarian version.
  • 1.5 cups Grated Cheddar Provides creaminess; mozzarella or dairy-free cheese work as alternatives.
