Ground Beef Red Pepper Onion Recipe

This Ground Beef Veggie Skillet Recipe is made with onions, bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus, and, of course, ground beef. From start to finish, it can be ready in 30 minutes. It's also low-carb and gluten-free.

As I sit down to write this post, my mom and our boy Tomtom (Thomas) are playing outside on the patio. We have a small plastic pool, and they're enjoying the beautiful day. It's sunny, the sky is blue, and the weather is perfect.

My living room has a large sliding door, so I can see them easily from here. My heart is full of love right now. I love when these two are together having fun. Since my mom lives in another country, moments like this are rare. By rare, I mean only twice a year.

I have to say it's a very hard situation, but at the same time, we value these moments more because we don't see each other every day or every week.

This skillet is good for a quick and light dinner, but it's also wonderful as leftovers for lunch. It lasts well for up to 5 days in the fridge. You can make this Ground Beef Veggie Skillet ahead of time and take to work. Also, you can serve it with cauliflower "rice" and roasted veggies. But if you're not on a low-carb diet, you can serve this recipe with fluffy rice, quinoa, or even pasta. Enjoy!

While this ground beef veggie skillet is packed with healthy goodness, if you want another veggie packed side dish, then try my Roasted Parmesan Green Beans with it!

• ▢ 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• ▢ 1 pound grass-fed extra-lean ground beef
• ▢ 1 clove garlic minced
• ▢ ½ cup onions diced
• ▢ ½ cup red bell peppers diced

• ▢ 1 tablespoon feta cheese crumbled, for garnishing

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

• Return the ground beef to the skillet, and mix everything together.
