There’s a couple proteins that are always on our shopping list – ground beef and chicken breast. So after I’ve made the spaghetti, tacos, and hamburgers, I’m always trying to invent new ways to use that ground beef.

This is a keeper, y’all. I love Korean BBQ flavors, and this easy to put together weeknight meal has all of that flavor without all of the hassle. This take out fake out is a new favorite at our house!

So get out your spices and let’s get cookin’!
