Preparation Instructions

  • Add your ground beef (or turkey) to a large skillet on the stovetop. Use a spatula to crumble the meat. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned.
  • Stir in salt, pepper, chili powder, onion powder, basil, and minced garlic. Sauté for one more minute so garlic is golden in color. Remove beef and garlic from pan and set aside.
  • Add the oil to the skillet. Once hot, add diced sweet potatoes and carrots. Season with salt, chili powder, ground ginger, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until sides of potatoes have browned.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add ground beef back to the pan along with beef stock and diced brussels sprouts. Stir. Cover and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, or until brussels sprouts are tender to your liking.
