Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend for richness)
- 1/4 cup Hot honey (for sweet and spicy flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder (adding depth and aroma)
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder (for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (for color and mild sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (to enhance flavors)
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper (adds complexity)
- 1 cup Cooked rice (white or brown, as desired)
- 1 cup Mixed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, or your favorites)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for sautéing vegetables)

Instructions
Cooking
- In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle olive oil and add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
- As the beef browns, sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate the spices evenly throughout the meat.
- Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, usually around 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- In another pan, sauté your mixed vegetables in olive oil until tender and slightly caramelized, around 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- In individual serving bowls, layer cooked rice, browned ground beef, and sautéed vegetables.
- Drizzle hot honey generously over the top, allowing it to soak into the layers.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve hot.
Notes
For a shared experience, place all components separately on a table and let guests build their own bowls according to their preferences. Additionally, consider serving the bowls alongside warm, crusty bread or a fresh salad.
