This flavorful Beef and Pepper Rice Bowl is a quick and satisfying meal, perfect for busy nights. With a combination of savory ground beef, colorful bell peppers, and a kick of jalapeño, it’s a dish that packs a punch! Serve it over rice for a hearty meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 tablespoons butter
  2. 1 medium onion, diced
  3. 1 green bell pepper, diced
  4. 1 red bell pepper, diced
  5. 1 jalapeño, diced
  6. 1 pound ground beef
  7. ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium optional)
  8. 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  9. 1 teaspoon salt
  10. 2 teaspoons black pepper
  11. Optional: Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat for a leaner dish.
  • Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the beef and pepper mixture over cooked rice for a hearty and flavorful meal, if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add more peppers to taste.
  • Feel free to use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier grain option.
  • Add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole on top for extra richness.
