Ingredients

Scale

Here’s a list of ingredients that will help you whip up a delicious dish, full of flavor and reminiscent of those hearty meals from my Devonshire kitchen:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (optional: use your favorite color!)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your favorite)

If you’re feeling adventurous, consider swapping the beef for turkey or adding a touch of heat with some chili flakes. The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility, much like the impromptu additions that would often surprise us during my childhood feasts.

Instructions

Let’s bring this dish to life with a few simple steps. Each step is crafted to ensure you capture the essence of Devon, right in your own kitchen.

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes. This is where the aroma starts to remind me of home.
  3. Stir in the diced bell pepper, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Pour in the beef broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This is the perfect time to grab a cup of tea and let the anticipation build.
  6. Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the grated cheese until it melts into creamy perfection.

The dish is now ready to serve, bringing with it the harmony of flavors that can only be achieved through a labor of love.
