1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and measure them out. If using, chop the onion and bell pepper into small pieces.
2
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until hot.
3
Sauté Optional Vegetables
If using chopped onion and bell pepper, add them to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
4
Add Ground Beef
Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook, stirring occasionally.
5
Season the Beef
Once the beef is browned (about 7-10 minutes), season it with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. Mix well.
6
Cook Thoroughly
Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring that the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink.
7
Serve
Remove from heat and serve the ground beef as desired, either in tacos, on top of salads, or in pasta dishes.
