US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Warm butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion for about 1 minute until fragrant, then add the bell pepper and continue cooking for another 4 minutes until soft.
Raise heat to medium-high and add ground beef, seasoned with salt and pepper. Break apart the meat with a spatula, if needed. Brown the meat for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink.
Top the meat and vegetable mixture with shredded cheese.
Remove from heat and cover with a lid for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let the beef sit undisturbed in the pan for a couple of minutes before stirring so it develops a rich crust.
Drain excess fat if needed to keep the dish from feeling greasy while still retaining rich flavor.
If your vegetables release too much liquid, push them to the side of the skillet and let it cook off before combining with the beef.

Serve: Serve over a bed of lettuce or salad greens, over rice, stuffed in a baked potato, or wrapped in a tortilla for quick meal variations.

Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, stirring in between to keep the cheese melty and the beef moist.
