Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Brown the Ground Beef

    Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate the spices into the beef.

  6. 6

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot. This ground beef mixture can be served over rice, in tacos, or as a filling for burritos.
