Equipment

  • 1 Large + deep pan or a large cast-iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium potatoes , diced into small cubes
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • salt + pepper , to preferred taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter , divided
  • 1 large onion , diced
  • 4 small sweet peppers , chopped *or 1 medium bell pepper chopped
  • 2 carrots , diced small
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3½ cups beef broth
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2½ cups shredded cheese * your favorite kind

Instructions
 

  • Dice the potatoes into small cubes, cut the carrots into thin slices, and mince 3 cloves of garlic. Set to the side. * The smaller the cube and slice size, the faster the potatoes and carrots will cook.
  • Using a large and deep pan or cast-iron skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it is no longer pink. Season to preferred taste. Drain the grease from the pan and transfer the ground beef to a bowl or plate until ready for use.
  • Once the grease has been removed and the ground beef set aside, heat the olive oil and butter in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add in the onions and then garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant.
    Next add in the potatoes, carrots, peppers, onion, cooked ground beef, and only 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Taste test and add the remaining 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, if needed, to increase the flavor.
    Pour in beef broth. Keep the potatoes and carrots covered with the liquid to soften quickly.
  • Reduce the heat to simmer and cook uncovered for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are soft and tender but not squishy or mashable.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in the sour cream, cream cheese, and 2 cups of shredded cheese until melted.
    Top the dish with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese and serve.
