Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 unit red bell pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping half a cup of onion and mincing 3 cloves of garlic. Dice one red bell pepper into small pieces.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to cook and stir for another 3 minutes until the bell pepper starts to soften.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Break up the beef with a spatula and stir continuously to ensure even browning.
Once the beef is browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes, stir in 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of cumin, and 0.5 teaspoon of chili powder. Mix until the spices are well distributed.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the beef mixture to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Meanwhile, roughly chop 0.25 cup of fresh parsley. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the parsley over the top.
Serve the Keto Classic Fried Ground Beef hot, as desired, with a side of leafy greens for a complete meal option.
