Paprika Beef

Tender diced beef, bacon and capsicum cooked in a smoky tomato sauce. A lovely meat dish to serve with rice, mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.

If you wanted to make this a one pot meal you could add diced potatoes in the last hour of cooking.

This make great bowl food, there is nothing better than eating a warming bowl of food just with a fork, it is such a relaxed no fuss way of eating.
