👩‍🍳 How to Make It

1. Get your veggies ready

Chop the onion into small pieces — not too big, not too tiny.
Chop the bell pepper the same size.
Chop the garlic super small.

2. Start cooking the beef

Put a big pan on the stove over medium-high heat.
If your beef is lean, add a little oil. If it has some fat, you might not need oil.

Add the ground beef to the pan.
Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Let it get brown — about 5–7 minutes. Don’t stir too much — let it get a little crispy in spots.

3. Add the veggies

When the beef is mostly brown, add the chopped onion and bell pepper.
Stir it all together.

Cook for 4–5 minutes until the veggies start to get soft.
The onions should look a little see-through.

4. Add the garlic and seasonings

Add the chopped garlic, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Stir and cook for 1 more minute — until you can smell the garlic.

5. Add the Worcestershire sauce

Pour in the Worcestershire sauce.
Stir everything together.
Cook for 1 more minute so all the flavors get friendly.

6. Taste and fix

Take a little taste. Does it need more salt? More pepper? Add a pinch.
Everyone likes things a little different — make it yours!

7. Serve it up

Spoon it into bowls or onto plates.
So simple, so good!
