1 pound ground beef
2 (15-ounce) cans tomato sauce
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 tablespoon capers
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 bay leaf
3 to 5 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 cups hot cooked rice
3 bananas, sliced (optional)

In a large frying pan, brown ground beef until no longer pink. Drain if necessary.

In a bowl, combine tomato sauce, onion, bell pepper, capers, onion powder, garlic powder, and bay leaf. Pour into ground beef. Stir in potatoes, bring to a boil, and then reduce heat. Cover and simmer over low heat 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring often, or until potatoes are fork tender. Remove bay leaf and serve meat mixture over hot cooked rice. For an authentic Cuban taste, garnish with sliced bananas.
