Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup beef broth

1 cup frozen peas and carrots

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onions become translucent and fragrant.

    Brown the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, approximately 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

      Season the Mix: Stir in paprika, Italian herbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, ensuring the beef is well-coated with the spices. Cook for another minute to let the flavors meld.

        Add Potatoes and Broth: Toss in the diced potatoes and mix well with the beef. Pour in the beef broth, covering the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

          Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

            Incorporate Veggies: Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the frozen peas and carrots. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to warm through and allow the veggies to soften. Adjust seasoning if needed.

              Serve: Spoon the hearty mixture into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy your delicious and comforting Ground Beef and Potatoes dish.
