Tex Mex Stuffed Peppers mix
Chop the sweet onion and caramelize in the skillet for 20 minutes on low heat in 3 TBS olive oil. Add the chopped cloves of garlic, 1 tsp of sugar and salt ( to speed up the caramelization process) Do not overcook, should be a nice brown color.
- Add the grass fed beef, slowly brown, and break apart with a spoon. It will take about 20 minutes over medium-low heat.
- When the beef is brown, add one can of tomato paste, 1 cup of chicken broth, 2 TBS cumin, and 1-2 tsp of Cayenne pepper to taste ( this step may be skipped if cooking for children). Zest a lime and squeeze the lime juice into the pan of meat.
- Cover with a lid and let simmer for 20 minutes.
