Instructions

Heat large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil.
Once oil is hot, add sliced onion, sliced bell peppers, ¼ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Remove veggies to a clean plate and return pan to heat.
Add ground beef and remaining salt and pepper. Break apart with a wooden spatula and cook until browned, about 8 minutes.

Serve with brown rice or roasted potatoes. Enjoy!

This dish is great served alone, over brown rice or alongside roasted potatoes!
