Chef's Note
This versatile ground beef skillet can be customized with whatever vegetables you have on hand. For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño. Leftovers reheat beautifully and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a lower-carb option, serve the beef mixture over cauliflower mash instead of potatoes.

Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 medium yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
1 medium bell pepper
1.5 pounds russet potatoes
1/2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
- 1
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place in a pot with enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil.
- 2
While water is heating, dice the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-6 minutes.
- 4
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- 5
Add minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 6
Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add Worcestershire sauce and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- 7
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
- 8
Meanwhile, once potatoes are fork-tender (about 15 minutes of boiling), drain well and return to the hot pot.
- 9
Add 3 tablespoons butter and 1/4 cup milk to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 10
Add frozen peas to the beef mixture and cook for 2 minutes until heated through.
- 11
Divide the garlic mashed potatoes among four plates and top with the ground beef mixture.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
