How to Make Belize Beef On Spiced Potatoes

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 1/2 teaspoons of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of jerk seasoning to the beef. Stir well.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Uncover the skillet and continue simmering for another 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. While the beef simmers, prepare the potatoes: Cut 2 large russet potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Pierce each slice with a fork several times.
  6. Dip the potato slices in cold water to prevent sticking. Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and jerk seasoning.
  7. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on a nonstick baking pan. Broil 3-6 inches from the heat for 10-12 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, flipping halfway through.
  8. In a small bowl, combine your desired topping ingredients (e.g., sour cream, chopped cilantro, shredded cheese) with 1 tablespoon of the reserved tomato juice from the can.
  9. Season the topping with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Spoon the beef mixture over the broiled potatoes.
  11. Serve immediately, topped with your desired topping.
