Description
Learn how to make delicious ground beef breakfast. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Optional: hot sauce for serving
Feel free to swap out the ground beef for turkey or chicken if you’re looking for a leaner option. And if you’re like me, always experimenting, you might even add some chopped spinach for an extra nutrient boost.
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. This step always reminds me of my early kitchen adventures with my parents, where the smell of garlic meant something delicious was about to happen.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to meld with the beef.
- Make four small wells in the beef mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, about 5 minutes for runny yolks.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and cook for another minute until the cheese melts.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. A dash of hot sauce can take it to the next level if you like a bit of heat.
