Ingredients

  • 1 Pound ground beef
  • 1 Medium onion chopped
  • 2 Cloves garlic minced
  • 1 Bell pepper chopped (any color)
  • 1 Can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon Paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • First, sauté the vegetables by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
  • Cook the ground beef by adding it to the skillet and breaking it apart as it cooks. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook until fragrant. Continue cooking for an extra 2 minutes to let the flavors blend.
  • Incorporate Tomatoes: Add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to deepen.
  • Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot over rice, pasta, or crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, consider adding red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
