Potato Beef

Honestly, I have no idea what to call it. But this is something I make quite often, but I've never posted it before. It's like a southern-style stir fry. Or the innards of a random breakfast burrito. And what did I come up with? Potato Beef. Hahaha, I'm so creative. The one I made today isn't exactly what I usually made. I added some, I took some out (because I was too lazy to get them at the supermarket). But this is what it looks like:


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 large Louisiana hot links
  • 5 cloves of garlic
  • 2 medium-sized red-skinned potatoes
  • 1 large sweet bell pepper
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp pepper
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup grated Monterrey Jack cheese
  • La Victoria's orange sauce (optional)

Directions

Drizzle some olive oil into a skillet and toss the garlic in. Let it sizzle for about 30 seconds and then throw in the ground beef and hot links. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice and let the ground beef cook until its slightly browned. Throw in the potatoes and cook until the potatoes are slightly softened. Toss in the bell peppers and cook for a couple of minutes. Season with the black pepper, sugar, paprika, Sriracha. Simmer the heat and sprinkle the cheese into the pot. Stir until the cheese is lightly melted. Serve with La Victoria's orange sauce.

This my own take on "stir-fry". One day, I just decided to look into the fridge and tried to figure out what went good with ground beef. I remember by dad used to just cook ground beef with frozen mixed vegetables and it would be pretty decent, although I always thought it was a weird dish for some reason. I figured potatoes, bell peppers, and hot links would go well with ground beef and so I made it happen. I wouldn't necessarily call this dish amazingly delicious, but it's spicy, it's filling, and it works. I love making the dish because it's so easy and almost instinctive now. It gets the job done and so I love cooking this dish up.
