Delicious Ground Beef w/ Sweet Mini Bell Peppers, Tomatoes, and Onions.

The name of this dish may seem a little "overly-confident", but we promise, once you taste this recipe you will definitely agree that the chosen name is the only one appropriate.

Ingredients:
    • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil/coconut oil/bacon grease
    • 1 decent sized yellow onion diced
    • 1 ¼ cups mini sweet bell peppers diced (could be subbed for large red/yellow/orange bell peppers)
    • 1 ½ tbsp minced garlic
    • 2 ½ lbs lean ground beef
    • ½ tbsp sea salt
    • ½ tbsp black pepper
    • 1 tbsp oregano
    • ½ tbsp thyme
    • ¼ tbsp cumin
    • ¼ tbsp chili powder
    • ½ tbsp red pepper flakes
    • ¼ tbsp lemon or lime juice
    • (1) 14.5 oz. cans of diced tomatoes (un-drained)
    Technique: 

    1. Start by sautéing the onions and mini bell peppers until translucent in a large sauce pot
    2. Add in minced garlic, stir for 1 minute (make sure it doesn’t burn)
    3. Add in ground beef and sauté until browned
    4. Once ground beef is browned, drain the meat until there is little to no liquid left
    5. Add in spices , tomatoes, and lemon/lime juice
    6. Cover with a lid and allow the mixture to simmer for 30 minutes.
    7. Enjoy!

    This dish tastes wonderful served on its own, or, as Diane's personal favorite, a salad.
    We like to call this dish: “Paleo-Frito-Pie”

    1. Since the first time Di made this for us I've craved it and we've had it on our menu at home every other week except we double the recipe so we have enough to satisfy everyone's cravings in our home.
      It's the best Paleo Ground Beef recipe I've tasted so far. The name is accurate "Delicious Ground Beef". If think that is what I will have for lunch right now.
