This traditional Latin American and Filipino dish is a classic in comfort food! The beef is tender and cooked with vibrant vegetables and tangy tomatoes, which is truly satisfying when piled high next to rice. Add in some hearty, crispy potatoes, sweet raisins, and aromatic olives, and Picadillo becomes a complex and yet nurturing dish. It only takes 45 minutes to make this, so you can have it any day of the week with no stress.
