ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Turkey is lower in fat; pork is often less expensive.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: yams

Sweet potatoes are more nutritious; yams can be cheaper.

Chop half of a white onion and add it to a pan with some olive oil on medium heat.

Chop one Sano pepper and add it to the pan.

Once the onion starts to become iridescent, add one pound of ground beef and break it up inside the pan.

Chop up two garlic cloves and incorporate them into the beef.

Add salt and pepper to taste while breaking down the ground beef.

Chop two tomatoes and add them to the pan, wanting just the flesh and juice.

Peel and chop two carrots and two yellow potatoes, then add them to the pan.

Add more salt and pepper while incorporating the vegetables into the beef, onions, and garlic.

Cover and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, uncovering occasionally to stir.

Check if the potatoes are done by trying to smash one; if it's easy to mash, it's done.
