Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and measure them out. If using, chop the onion and bell pepper into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until hot.

  3. 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. 4

    Add Ground Beef

    Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook, stirring occasionally.

  5. 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. 6

    Cook Thoroughly

    Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring that the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve the ground beef as desired, either in tacos, on top of salads, or in pasta dishes.
