How to Prepare This Meal
- Start with the Skillet: Begin by heating canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, turn the heat down to medium.
- Potato Perfection: Add your diced potatoes to the skillet. Stir them frequently, letting them cook until they start to turn golden and soften slightly, for about 6 minutes. They should still retain some firmness.
- Beef it Up: To the skillet, add the ground beef, diced onion, and red bell pepper. Break the beef apart as it cooks.
- Flavor Fiesta: Now, it’s time to jazz things up! Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, kosher salt, black pepper, and hot sauce. For a milder taste, stick with 1 teaspoon of hot sauce, or increase it for more heat.
- Combine and Cook: Continue to cook, breaking up the beef further. Once the potatoes and onions are tender, and the beef is thoroughly cooked (this should take about 6 to 8 minutes), you’re almost done.
- The Final Touch: Stir in the sliced green onions. Do a quick taste test and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve it Your Way: Serve this scrumptious dish hot. You can top it with Greek yogurt or shredded cheese, serve it over rice, or simply enjoy it as is with an extra dash of hot sauce for an added kick.
