I am a blogger who focuses on family friendly meals. This recipe fits my criteria perfectly- quick, easy, and delicious. Kellen loves ground meat and rice, and addition of the veggies is an added bonus! I kept true to the original recipe, but I opted to use frozen stir fry veggies because I had some on hand, and I really like the water chestnuts and carrots. This recipe was delicious and was soooo easy. Kellen was even excited to take some for lunch to school the next day.
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
12 oz frozen stir fry mixed vegetables
¼ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup soy sauce
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4-6 servings hot white or brown rice
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the garlic and ginger until the beef is no longer pink. Drain excess grease if necessary (this will depend on how lean the meat is).
Add the mixed vegetable and cook till thawed. Whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch.
Pour sauce over ground beef and veggies, stir and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Serve over hot cooked rice.
