Korean Beef Bowl

When I conducted my reader survey a while back, many of you mentioned that you’d like to see more frugal recipes!  We eat a lot of healthy, inexpensive meals, so I’m going to start sharing more of them with you!

This recipe is fast and simple, plus it’s very flavorful.  The beef mixture freezes well, so if you make a double or triple batch, you can freeze portions for later.

I recently found a sale on grassfed beef ($2.38/lb.!) so I used that, but I’ve also made this with ground turkey and it’s really good as well.  We tend to go lighter on the meat so that it stretches further, but you can serve up larger portions of the beef mixture if you desire.

If you’re looking for a delicious, fast meal, definitely try this one!
