Spicy Beef & Red Pepper Rice Bowl
Easy Cooking, Great Results
So, I found myself with a bunch of dried red chili peppers sitting in my pantry left over from another recipe, so I decided it was time to bring some spice into our lives with this spicy beef and pepper rice bowl. Stirs/Rice bowls are honestly my favorite kinds of meals because they can truly be whatever you have on hand. Got an avocado and cilantro in the fridge? Go Mexican! No protein defrosted? Make an egg scramble over rice! Got a bunch of dried red chili peppers in your pantry? Make this spicy beef and red pepper rice bowl with Della Rice’s jasmine rice!
