GROUND HAWAIIAN BEEF



Ground Hawaiian Beef made with lean ground beef, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple in a sweet and savory sauce, made in under 30 minutes!

Ground Hawaiian Beef is one of my go-to weekday recipes, made with lean ground beef, peppers, onions, and big chunks of pineapple with a sweet and sour Hawaiian-style sauce.

You get a savory, salty taste from soy sauce and rice vinegar, while the ketchup and brown sugar add a sweet molasses-type flavor that goes perfectly with the beef.

You can make this recipe ahead of time to meal prep for the week. Cook the ground beef according to the recipe, then allow to cool completely. Separate among 4 freezer-safe containers, add over 1 cup of rice per container, seal, and freeze.
