Description
Delicious and comforting ground beef meals that bring families together over hearty plates.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (any color you prefer)
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth for a lighter touch)
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Dice your onion, garlic, and bell pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin.
- Combine the Flavor: Pour the diced tomatoes and beef broth into the skillet, scraping any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Serve over cooked rice or quinoa, garnished with fresh herbs.
Notes
For heartier meals, consider adding black beans or kidney beans. You can also swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for lighter options.
