Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed and set the beef aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add olive oil or butter. Toss in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.

Step 3: Add the Potatoes

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the oil and seasonings. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to get a slight crisp on the potatoes.

Step 4: Simmer with Broth

Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5: Combine & Serve

Once the potatoes are soft, return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5 minutes. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top and let it melt before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot!
