Beef Potato Cheese (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1.8 pounds starchy white potatoes, peeled and sliced
04 - 2 chopped Romano or bell peppers
05 - 1.1 pounds lean ground beef
06 - 1 finely diced yellow onion
07 - 2 minced garlic cloves
08 - 1 tsp Italian herbs mix
09 - 1 tsp sweet paprika
10 - ½ tsp chili flakes
11 - ½ tsp salt
12 - 1 tsp black pepper
13 - 2 tbsp concentrated tomato paste
14 - 2 tbsp parsley, chopped (use extra for garnish)
15 - 2 cups chicken broth
16 - 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded

# Instructions:

01 - Before you start cooking, chop everything. Slice the potatoes into thin, flat pieces around 1/4 inch thick. Dice the onion and parsley, and mince the garlic. Deseed and slice the peppers into thin strips.
02 - Warm the butter and olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Toss in the potatoes and cook them for roughly 6 minutes until they develop a golden crust. Take them out and set aside.
03 - Using the same skillet, add the peppers and cook for around 3 minutes, just to soften them. Break up the beef in the pan and cook until it looks slightly brown, about 2 minutes.
04 - Mix in the onion and garlic, stirring for a couple of minutes until it smells amazing. Then add salt, chili flakes, black pepper, paprika, and the dried herbs. Stir the tomato paste at the end to mix everything up.
05 - Gently fold in the parsley and potatoes with the rest of the ingredients. Pour in the chicken broth, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 10 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Afterward, simmer without the lid so the broth reduces.
06 - Scatter the grated cheddar across the top. Cover the pan again and wait until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.
07 - Sprinkle extra parsley and chili flakes before serving. Eat it while hot with a fresh side salad, and enjoy your meal!

# Notes:

01 - Comforting layers of beef, crispy potatoes, and peppers, all topped with melty-cheddar goodness.
02 - All done in one pan in just half an hour. It's packed with flavor and super satisfying!
