Recipe Firecracker Ground Beef

[GolferGal]

This is one of those recipes that sounds kind of weird, but tastes amazing! When I made it I used ground bison, Swerve brown sugar substitute, and Buffalo Wild Wings medium buffalo wing sauce for the buffalo sauce. I just served mine over rice, but you can do a lot with this like lettuce wraps, wonton cups, tacos, a salad, noodles, stir fry, whatever you would like.

Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

• 1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil or Chili Oil
• 1 pound Ground Beef
• 1/2 cup (96g) Dark Brown Sugar
• 1/4 cup (60g) Buffalo Sauce
• 2 Tablespoons (30g) Rice Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

1. Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and brown both sides of the ground beef for 1-2 minutes per side. Break apart and fully cook.
3. Pour the sauce over the cooked ground beef and stir everything together. Leave untouched for 30-60 seconds until the sauce begins to caramelize on the bottom of the pan. Stir and continue until the beef is coated in the sauce and you start to see crispy bits.
4. Serve over rice or noodles with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

I’ll have to look. If not, I’ll get some cause this sounds delicious!

Yep, I’ll be trying this.

This is a must try, it's seriously so good. It's really well balanced with the heat, sweet, vinegar, savory, it's just delicious.

I have ground beef defrosting so I think I am going to make this for dinner tomorrow. Either this or the Bubble up Lasagna https://www.thehackersparadise.com/...the-week-bubble-up-lasagna-casserole.8947898/

It really is just one of those weird recipes that somehow works. I have some frozen edamame, I think I might add that to it this time.

Made this tonight, still delicious. I added edamame and served it over miracle noodles, and then topped with just a tiny bit of siracha mayo, so good.
