Ingredients

1 Tbsp. olive oil (divided)
1 white onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 ½ tsp jarred minced garlic)
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 tsp. salt (divided)
1½ tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
½ tsp. pepper
2 cups Brussels Sprouts (shredded)
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. oregano
1½ Tbsp. sugar free Worcestershire sauce

Optional

2 green onions (chopped)
1/2 cup brown rice

Instructions

Heat large non-stick skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add ½ Tbsp. olive oil.
Once oil is hot, add onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until onion begins to soften. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add in ground beef and ½ tsp. salt. Break beef apart with wooden spatula as it cooks. Continue cooking until no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
Stir in chili powder, cumin and pepper, and cook for one minute.
Move cooked ground beef/onion mixture to a clean plate and set aside. Return pan to stovetop and add remaining ½ Tbsp. olive oil.
When oil is hot, add shredded Brussels sprouts, paprika and oregano. Stir to combine, and place lid on skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When Brussels sprouts are cooked through, add cooked ground beef back to the skillet and stir to combine.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce and continue to cook for one minute, uncovered. Taste and add additional salt/pepper as needed.
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.
