Ground Beef Ingredients

Method

Ground Beef Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper as needed.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of 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.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Brown the Ground Beef

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.

  6. 6

    Season the Mixture

    Once the beef is browned, add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  7. 7

    Add Tomato Sauce and Water

    Pour in the tomato sauce and water. Stir to mix everything together.

  8. 8

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot. This ground beef mixture can be used for tacos, burritos, or over rice.
