INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 2 Tbsp Heavy Cream
- 1 Tbsp Low Carb Tomato Sauce
- 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbsp Fresh Basil
- 1 Green Pepper
- 1/2 White Onion
- 6 Slices Provolone Cheese
- Salt & Pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, then brown it in a skillet over medium heat. Once fully cooked, remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Slice the onion and green pepper. Add 1 tbsp butter to the skillet, using the beef drippings. Sauté the onions and peppers for about 4 minutes, until browned, then set aside with the cooked beef.
- Preheat your oven’s broiler. Add the remaining butter to the skillet along with minced garlic and basil. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then stir in the tomato sauce, heavy cream, and garlic powder. Simmer for 1–2 minutes.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Add the onions and peppers, mixing everything together.
- Place the provolone cheese slices over the beef and vegetable mixture, then broil in the oven for 3–4 minutes or until the cheese melts to your liking.
NOTES
- Feel free to swap the provolone with shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese.
- If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a square baking dish before broiling.
- You can also use sliced beef roast or cooked steak instead of ground beef.
