Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeño, diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium optional)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- Optional: Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
- Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat for a leaner dish.

- Serve: Serve the beef and pepper mixture over cooked rice for a hearty and flavorful meal, if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter option, use lean ground turkey or chicken in place of beef.
- Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of jalapeño or adding more spices.
- If desired, top with chopped fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
