Ground Beef and Veggie Stir Fry is quick, easy, and fairly inexpensive. Ground beef and vegetables are stir fried in a slightly sweet sauce and served over hot cooked rice.
One evening while browsing on Pinterest I saw a pin for a Korean Beef recipe that used ground beef instead of the usual flank steak or London broil.
In rare fashion I made the recipe the very next day. It was good but I like veggies in my stir fries. (Mongolian Chicken is the exception to this) So, I decided the next time I made it to add a few veggies to it to make it more of a meal.
