How to Make Seasoned Ground Beef

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup water and the prepared seasoning mix.
  5. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the beef is cooked through.
