Broccoli

Swap

Sharp white Cheddar for the yellow Cheddar

1 red or yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into thin strips

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of EVOO and the beef. Brown the meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add the peppers and cook together for 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
