Spicy Ground Beef Stew
"This spicy ground beef stew recipe was inspired by my childhood. I grew up in the 70’s in a very modest family, and sometimes dinner had to be super easy and economical. So sometimes my mom would make this skillet with ground beef, onions and potatoes with a little bit of water until the potatoes were cooked! I’m not really sure if it was something that other families ate, or if it was due to a lack of imagination or simply to save on food costs. I took the base of that recipe, which is the ground beef, onion and potatoes and I built flavour around it. Instead of using water I made a tomato sauce to create a stew. I built the flavour with Sriracha to give it a spicy flare. This dish remains simple, economical but full of flavour!"
