Spicy sage ground beef and green beans by ashley of myheartbeets.com

I am always trying to find creative ways to use ground meat. It’s a protein that I almost always have in the fridge because it’s so easy to cook at the last minute. The only issue with ground meat is that it can be boring… unless you spice it up! That’s exactly what I’ve done with this recipe.

My recipe for spicy sage ground beef and green beans is delicious on its own or served over rice or cauli-rice. If you’re eating it for breakfast, you can even top it with a fried egg (my favorite thing to do with leftovers!). And you can also of course use any ground meat in this dish.

Make this on a busy weeknight – it’s so simple, so flavorful and so good!

    I made this is a an extra weekend meal to eat off of and it was really yummy! I had all of the ingredients on hand except for the serrano pepper so I subbed in some cayenne (maybe 1/8 to 1/4 tsp) for a mild kick. My 10yo doesn’t like things as spicy as my husband and I do!

    I’m wondering though is 2tsp salt is a typo. It seemed high to me so I reduced to 1tsp and it was plenty salty.
