# Instructions:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, season with half the spices (½ tbsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp dried thyme, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper), and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the cubed potatoes. Season with the remaining half of the spices. Pour in 1 cup of beef stock, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, mixing well to combine all ingredients. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve warm as a hearty main dish.
