A long time family favorite! --- you can substitute the broccoli florets for one 6-ounce package frozen pea pods if desired --- make certain the the cooked ground beef is very well browned and well drained, also make certain to use only cold cooked rice, cooking time does not include cooking the rice --- you will love this!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (or use half ground beef and ground pork)
5-6 large garlic cloves, chopped (not minced the more garlic, the better!)
1/4 teaspoon ginger powder or 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons oil (not olive oil)
1 red bell pepper, cut into about 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups small broccoli florets
3 cups cold cooked white rice
3-4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
4 green onions, chopped
salt and pepper (optional)

Directions

1
In a wok or a large skillet brown the ground beef with garlic and ginger over medium heat (about 10 minutes) breaking up into small pieces; drain the fat, then transfer to a bowl.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high eat until hot.
3
Add in bell pepper and pea pods; cook for 3 minutes or until bell pepper is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
4
Stir in the cold cooked rice, soy sauce and sesame oil.
5
Return the cooked ground beef back to the skillet; toss to combine and heat though, then stir in the chopped green onions.
6
Season with salt and pepper and more soy sauce if desired.

This was a good, economical meal, and it made quite a bit for us to have leftover. Will definitely make again. Thanks, Kitten!

This recipe was good and can be used as a base, but over all I found it a little bland. I used fresh ginger and added mushrooms. I will definitely try this again and play around with spices, maybe add curry powder or chili paste.

Thanks for a new idea for ground beef! I used what veggies were on hand: zucchini, sugar snap peas, green bell pepper. (had to bury the carrots and the mushrooms!!) Had to leave out the ginger as DH is allergic. Still turned out well! I'll be making this again!

This took just a few min. since I had some broccoli and green beans already cooked. I sauteed some green pepper along with the ground beef and added some shredded carrots at the end for color. This is very kid-friendly and a great recipe to use on busy nights. Thanks again, Kittencal, for another super recipe. Roxygirl
