Notes from Meesh ♥

• You can use ground turkey or ground beef — both are delicious.
• I leave the skins on my potatoes, but you can peel them if you prefer.
• I run my peppers and onions through the food processor to keep the pieces small, but you don’t have to.
• Stirring here and there helps everything cook up beautifully.
• It’s absolutely delicious topped with shredded cheese in your bowl!
