Serve by itself in a bowl or over brown rice. Top with optional chopped green onions. Enjoy!
Notes
• Shredded cabbage is another wonderful sub for Brussels sprouts. • Soy sauce or tamari can be subbed for Worcestershire. • Look for at least 90% lean ground beef. Ground turkey or ground pork can be subbed for the lean ground beef.
