This is basically a Trader Joe’s meal hack. This meal is delicious with just these three ingredients. Tonight, I added cauliflower, hot sauce, and sour cream, but go ahead and use the three ingredients as a starting point to choose your own adventure. You could use ground turkey, but if you’re iron deficient like me, grab the organic beef!
Ingredients:
Trader Joe’s Tikka Vegetables
Trader Joe’s Organic Ground Beef
Trader Joe’s Rustico Tomato Sauce
Optional Ingredients:
Organic sour cream
Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce
Trader Joe’s frozen Rainbow Cauliflower
Trader Joe’s Middle Eastern Flatbread
Directions:
Brown ground beef in a piping hot cast iron pan. If your fire alarm goes off, you’re doing it right.
Let the ground sizzle in the hot pan for 90 seconds before you begin to stir and break it up. Once the meat is almost fully cooked, turn the stove down to simmer, and add tomato sauce 1/4 to 1/2 the can depending on your preference, and package of Tikka Vegetables. Simmer for 5 mins, stirring occasionally.
If you’re adding broccoli or cauliflower, sauté in a separate pan with some olive oil and tomato sauce. Once cooked, add to cast iron pan.
If you’re serving with flatbread, warm flatbread in a pan.
Optional: Add a dollop of Hot Pepper Sauce and sour cream on top. Enjoy!
