"You can swap out your favorite vegetables (or omit ones you don't like -- my kids are hit or miss with mushrooms). You can adjust the spiciness by adding less or more of the red pepper flakes. If you're going low carb, try this over cauliflower rice! Otherwise, it's really good over plain white rice."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.

Push the cooked ground beef to one side of the skillet. Add olive oil to the other side.

Step 6
Mix the ground beef and sautéed vegetables together in the skillet.

Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil (if using) over the mixture. Add red pepper flakes for a touch of spice.
