Instructions

• Cook 1 cup uncooked lentils according to the package instructions. When done, drain the lentils in a colander and set aside.
• Heat 1 Tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
• Add the chopped red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, about 3–5 minutes.
• Add the chopped carrots, broccolini, and chopped red bell pepper to the skillet. Cover and steam for 2 minutes.
• Remove the lid and push the vegetables to one side of the skillet to create an open space.
• Add the 1 pound ground beef to the open space. Use a spatula to break the beef into smaller pieces and brown it. Sprinkle 1 tsp garlic powder and ½ tsp sea salt over the beef and vegetables. Continue cooking and stirring until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables reach your desired level of doneness.
• Stir the cooked lentils into the skillet until everything is well combined and heated through.
• Taste and add more sea salt if desired. Serve.
