Ground Beef Veggie Skillet is an easy meal, with beef, onion, carrots, broccoli, celery, bell pepper and spices, made in under 30 minutes!
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
- ½ small red onion chopped
- 1½ teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 medium celery stalks thinly sliced or chopped
- 2 medium carrots peeled, chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper (or red bell pepper) seeded, chopped
- 1¼ cups broccoli florets (cut into bite-size florets)
- 1 pound ground beef 80% lean, if possible
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon turmeric
- ⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
-
Heat olive oil on Medium in a large skillet. Add onion; cook for 2-3 minutes until it softens; add garlic. Cook 1 more minute, stirring often so garlic doesn't burn.
-
Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper and celery to the onion/garlic mixture.
-
Place ground beef in skillet; sprinkle with thyme, garlic powder, turmeric, salt and pepper; stir to combine. Use spoon or fork to crumble beef into small pieces.
-
Cook on Medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring often. Continue crumbling meat into small pieces as it cooks. It's done when meat is cooked through, browned (no longer pink), and veggies are fork-tender. Remove/discard any accumulated grease in the skillet.

Divide dish into 4 portions; serve immediately while hot, with a favorite side dish or warm crusty bread, if desired. Enjoy!
