Seasonings & Sauces

  • ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium optional)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the Butter: Heat a large pan over medium heat and melt the butter until bubbly and warm.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften and become fragrant.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until the beef is fully browned and the vegetables are tender.
  4. Drain Excess Grease: Carefully drain any excess grease from the pan to reduce fat content, then return the beef and vegetable mixture to the pan.

  6. Serve: Serve the flavorful beef and pepper mixture hot over cooked rice if desired. Enjoy your hearty rice bowl!

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, leave the seeds in the jalapeño; remove them for milder heat.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels.
  • Drain excess grease carefully to reduce fat without losing flavor.
  • Can be served over quinoa or cauliflower rice for a healthier alternative.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
