Beef with Mashed Potatoes and Peppers

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1.5 lb potatoes
• ½ cup milk
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 cups mixed greens
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and chop the 1.5 lb potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place in a pot, cover with cold water, add 1 tsp salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

2. 2

   While potatoes cook, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Slice the 1 large yellow bell pepper into thin strips. Add to the skillet with the beef and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Keep warm.

4. 4

   Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add 2 tbsp butter and 0.5 cup milk. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.

5. 5

   Divide the 2 cups mixed greens between two plates. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the greens, then top with the beef and pepper mixture. Serve hot.
