Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup sugar-free ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onions and green peppers, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

  4. If there is excess fat in the skillet, drain it carefully.
  5. Add the sugar-free ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika to the meat mixture. Stir well to combine.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. After simmering, taste the mixture and add salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Serve the mixture on your choice of low-carb base, like cauliflower rice or in lettuce wraps.
