Ingredients

  • 1 medium russet potato
  • 2 TBSP Milk
  • 1 TSP Butter
  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 ounces 1/2 small can tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Wash the potato and poke it all over with a fork. Place on a plate and cook in the microwave on high for 10 minutes, or until tender. Let cool slightly.
  • Once the potato is cool enough to touch, slice in half and scoop out the potato from the skin and place in a bowl with the milk and butter. Using a potato masher or fork, mash the potato until no longer clumpy and the milk and butter are distributed. Set aside.
  • In a large soup pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the beef, onion, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir and cook until the meat is almost browned.
  • Add the minced garlic and continue to cook until the meat is completely browned.
  • Pour in the beef broth, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk in the tomato paste and mashed potato.
  • Bring to a boil and then cover and lower the heat to a simmer. Let simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Serve hot.
