Picadillo. Translation- ground beef hash?

Last night we had some friends over. They've never had Cuban food, so I made some picadillo, white rice and black beans, and of course some Cuban coffee for them.

My recipe is a little twist on my moms classic recipe. Hope you enjoy!

You will need:
One and a half pounds of ground chuck meat
Half a green bell pepper, chopped
Half a white onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 packet of Goya seasoning (see picture)
One and a half teaspoons of cumin
Half tablespoon of oregano
3 small potatoes, cubed
1 small can of tomato sauce
Water

How to cook this craving:
1. Peep your veggies and potatoes
2.Brown your meat. Drain.
3. Add the chopped green pepper, onion, and garlic to the meat. Let it absorb the flavors for about 5 minutes.
4. Add the cumin, oregano, Goya packets, cubed potatoes and 1 can of tomato sauce.
5. Use the same can, and fill with water. Pour water on top of meat. Stir and cover.
6. Let meat cook for about twenty minutes on medium low, or until potatoes are soft. Stir again. Salt to taste.

Serve with white rice and black beans, and enjoy!
