Main ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. oil
  • 1 lb. potatoes about 2 medium, diced into ½ inch pieces
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 and ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper

Instructions

  • Heat up that oil in your large skillet over medium heat. You’re gonna want it warm so stuff don’t stick.
  • Toss in the diced potatoes. Stir occasionally for about 10 minutes or until they start to soften. You’ll see the edges get a little golden and that’s the cue.
  • Add your ground beef right on top along with salt and pepper. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked — no more pinkness.
  • Now add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook about 5 minutes till veggies look tender and smell good. You getting those steam cues yet?
  • Stir in smoked paprika. That smoky flavor kicks in right here. Let it cook for just a minute more to bring it all together.
  • Sprinkle your shredded Cheddar over everything. Cover the skillet and let it melt down till gooey and melty. Then top with green onions if you want. Serve hot!
  • You’ll notice how the float valve and sealing ring keep things tight while the meal pressure cooks, sealing in heat and flavor. When you lift the lid, that tender pull on the potatoes and beef makes you wanna dig right in.
