15-MINUTE DINNER IDEA: Korean-Style Ground Beef Over Rice

(AKA, a *great* way to use up that ground beef that's been sitting in your freezer for ages.........)

Hey, pal—

Are you tired of making the same ol’ spaghetti or burgers with the ground beef in your fridge?

Well, it's time to [quite literally] spice things up with this Korean-style ground beef and rice recipe that will have ya drooooolin’.

Not only is this recipe SUPER easy to make (like, actually), but it's *also* a great way to use up that ground beef that's been sitting in your freezer for ages.

We all have some, right?

…..right?

This dish is SO simple, packed with flavor, and well-balanced with protein and carb (AKA, she be hearty!). .

annnnd…. busy, tired human stamp of approval:

One thing you need to know— this recipe is REAL LIFE approved.

In fact, the first night I made this was after a lonnnng day. My husband was working his 3rd consecutive 12-hour shift at the hospital— resulting in another solo parenting day of me trying to find the elusive ~balance~ of running my own business at home annnnnd taking care of our 9-month-old baby. [insert nervous laugh here]

On this particular evening, I found myself quite low on energy after a long day and lacking motivation to cook dinner (AKA…. just like every other weekday, lolz).

However, I didn't want to resort to ordering takeout or just snacking mindlessly eating a whole bag of chips for “dinner”

(we’ve all been there, right?)

…………..RIGHT?!

But in a moment of sheer #discipline, I instead decided to just make A TRUE ADULT MEAL. Huzzah!

But something easy, of course—

Upon rummaging around the kitchen, I found frozen ground beef in the freezer, some sesame oil in the pantry, some garlic, some coconut aminos… and suddenly the idea of a beef rice dish popped into my head.

Annnnnd… before I knew it, I was eating a delicious and comforting bibimbap-inspired style meal that satisfied *everyone* in the family.

(like, seriously. my 9-month-old genuinely ate it & loved it, hahah).

Not to mention, it made LEFTOVERS.

Aka, it’s perfect.
