Add ground beef to skillet and cook until browned and no longer pink.

Drain any excess grease from the cooked ground beef if needed.

Add onions and bell peppers to the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add diced potatoes to the skillet, ensuring they are cut to a similar size for even cooking.

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and beef broth.

Season with steak potato seasoning and all-purpose seasoning to taste.

Mix everything well and cover the skillet with a lid.

Cook for about 18 to 20 minutes until potatoes are fork tender, stirring occasionally.

Remove the lid in the last 5 to 6 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken, cooking uncovered.

If the mixture is still brothy after 5 minutes, continue cooking uncovered until thickened.

Add cheese to the skillet and mix until melted, reducing heat to low.

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Optionally, add more cheese on top, cover, and let residual heat melt the cheese.
