Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Notes

For extra flavor, add diced bell peppers or zucchini. For a spicy kick, consider crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce. This recipe is versatile - swap out ground beef for turkey or a plant-based alternative if desired.
