HOW TO MAKE
- Sauté chopped onion, garlic, red and green bell peppers in olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or any large pan you have).

- Remove from cast iron and add in beef.
- Brown beef then drain once fully cooked.
- Add the veggies and meat back into the pan.
- Combine last 8 ingredients to the pan and stir around to make the sauce (honestly, I do eyeball most of this, so adjust to your taste!).
- Serve on honey buns or any bun you’d like. You can also top with cheese!
