Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
- 3 medium-sized potatoes, diced (feel free to use sweet potatoes for a twist)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream (or substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free version)
- 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (like peas and carrots)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned.
- Once the meat is cooked, add in the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a low boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender.
- Add in the frozen mixed vegetables and pour in the heavy cream. Stir until well combined and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
