Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced

1 large onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup beef broth

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

    Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until it’s browned and no longer pink. Break up the beef with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.

      Incorporate the Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes and mix well with the beef. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, letting the potatoes absorb some of the flavors.

        Add Broth and Vegetables: Pour in the beef broth and add the frozen mixed vegetables. Stir everything together, ensuring the potatoes are submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Cook Until Tender: Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Check if the potatoes are tender by piercing them with a fork. If not done, cook for an additional few minutes.

            Final Touches: Once the potatoes are cooked through, remove the skillet from heat, taste for seasoning, and adjust if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Ground Beef and Potatoes warm in bowls or on plates, allowing guests to enjoy the chaotic blend of flavors!
