Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon, stirring frequently to create small, uniform pieces as it begins to cook.
Continue breaking down any larger chunks of beef. Add the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, stirring to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the meat. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper, mixing all ingredients together until well combined.
Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the meat browns on all sides and the vegetables soften. The ground beef is fully cooked when all pink is gone and the larger chunks are completely browned. The internal temperature should reach 160°F. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
Comments
This is a straightforward, cheap weeknight dish with no availability hurdles—ground beef, onions, and green peppers stock every Charlotte chain year-round, and the total cost per serving lands under $2. The stated 20 minutes is honest for browning beef and sautéing vegetables, though you'll be dicing and cooking actively the whole time. It reheats adequately over rice or in a tortilla, making it practical for leftovers, but the dish is plain and offers no real seasonality play or Southern character that might push it higher.
