YUMMY Green Bean and Ground Beef Meal!

The FINISHED yummy and totally healthy dish!


Here is a recipe to one of my successful "throw it in the pan and mix it up meals" that I created yesterday. I was really happy with it and it tasted great. Another successful healthy dish. Yeah!

Only used natural ingredients keeping it totally healthy. Sstarted off with an organic onion and garlic bulb. I cut the medium size onion in half, and diced one half of the onion (putting the other half away as I didn't need it)...and cut the entire smaller garlic bulb(s) into little diced pieces, mixed them together, and threw them in a large skillet that was greased with olive oil.

Then put the diced onion and garlic in skillet with olive oil as well as about 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and mixed it all together. I turned heat on to medium stirring constantly to keep it from burning. Once onions had turned translucent, I removed skillet from heat.

Then, pulled out the above herbs/ingredients to season the dish with....Organic Lemon Juice, Sea Salt, Basil, Sage, and Freshly Ground Black Pepper. (All of the ingredients EXCEPT for the organic lemon juice were used to season the ground beef....common sense...season to personal taste. The organic lemon juice was used to add flavor to the diced onion and garlic cooking. I used about about 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.)

In a separate smaller skillet I put all natural grass fed lean ground beef in a skillet and put a small handful of the diced garlic and onion (pulling a tiny bit on a whim from the large skillet) in w/the ground beef, as well as a dash of basil, sage, sea salt, and black pepper, and mixed it together and then began cooking the meat.

While the ground beef and the garlic and onions were cooking, I quickly washed a few green beans and strained the water out in the sink and then snapped off the ends of the green beans.

Then I put green beans in skillet with now cooked onions and garlic and sauteed the green beans for about 5 to 8 minutes until they were done...they were still crunchy but done. (You really have to constantly stir the green beans and the onion and garlic to keep anything from burning at the stage....it's like constant stirring, literally.

Then, once the ground beef was done, I added it in the skillet with the green beans and the garlic and onion and mixed it in, still over the heat, for about 1 minutes before pulling the skillet off the heat. The dish is now done cooking.
Vahlah, a VERY TASTY and HEALTHY dish! I really loved it, and the house smelled sooooo gooood afterwards! :-)
