Asian Ground Beef Bowls

This Asian Ground Beef Bowls recipe is so quick and easy to make, seriously only 20 minutes! It’s great for picky eaters too. Ground beef is a relatively inexpensive meat and just about always on sale. Another ground meat that can be used is ground turkey. I recommend ground turkey over ground chicken because it has a deeper flavor. If you want to make a more complete meal, try it with your favorite veggies and over rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles.
