Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (or your choice of ground meat)
- 3 cups sliced potatoes (about 3 medium potatoes)
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup bell pepper, chopped (any color)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Prepare the Skillet: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the Meat: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until it’s browned, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Remove the excess grease if necessary.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onions, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onions and peppers are softened.
- Add the Potatoes: Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and sprinkle with paprika, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Stir well to coat the potatoes with the spices.

- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
