# Instructions:
01 -
In a big skillet, cook the beef over medium-high heat till it's fully browned. Season with salt and pepper if you like. Move it to a plate when done.
02 -
If you want, pour out excess grease and use a paper towel to wipe the pan clean.
03 -
Put the pan back on medium-high heat, toss in the oil and potato chunks, and cook them for 12-15 minutes. Stir every so often to stop sticking or burning. They should soften up but not fall apart.
04 -
Pour in the onions and cook them for about 5 minutes until they're soft. Stir in minced garlic, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Let everything cook for 2 minutes until you can smell the garlic.
05 -
Add the beef back into the skillet, gently mix it with the potatoes and onions. Put the lid on, reduce to low heat, and let it all warm through for 5 minutes.
06 -
If you'd like, sprinkle minced parsley or drizzle extra hot sauce on top before digging in.
# Notes:
01 -
If stirred too much, potatoes can turn mushy—handle gently.
02 -
Feel free to toss in your favorite veggies to switch things up.
03 -
It pairs great with any sort of cheese melted on top.
