  • Serve the ground beef over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa. Add your favorite toppings for an extra flair.
  • Enjoy your delicious Hot Honey Bowl while it’s warm!

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. You can also enjoy it cold as a salad topper. For variations, try different grains or add veggies like bell peppers or broccoli while cooking the beef.
