Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced meat, diced onion, and chopped garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
Season with salt, pepper, and paprika powder to taste.
Pour in a generous amount of water and add the chopped bell peppers.
Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until the bell peppers are soft.
If the sauce is too thin, stir in sauce thickener to reach your desired consistency.
If desired, stir in cream for a richer sauce.
Serve with rice, pasta, potatoes, or your choice of grain or starch. Mashed potatoes and salad work particularly well.
