Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 9 ounces beef chuck roast, cut into rough 2-inch pieces
• 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
• 1 large bell pepper, cored and chopped
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
• 3 cups loosely packed baby spinach
• 3 medium Idaho or russet potatoes, washed
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook, stirring, until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste, paprika, and cumin, and cook stirring, until thoroughly mixed and fragrant, about 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high and add beef. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until beef is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
2. Transfer to a slow cooker. Add tomatoes, bell pepper, and carrots. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. When mixture is cooked, add spinach and stir to wilt.
3. Meanwhile, heat oven to 425°.
4. Rub potatoes with salt and pepper, pierce, and bake on an oven-safe skillet or sheet tray until soft throughout, 50 to 60 minutes.
5. Split potatoes down the center and fill with beef mixture. Garnish with parsley.
