Lean Beef, Black-Bean, and Pepper Skillet

Brown 1 pound of lean ground beef in a large skillet, breaking it into small pieces. Use a food thermometer to confirm it reaches a safe internal temperature, then drain excess fat if needed. Stir in one can of rinsed black beans, red and yellow peppers, tomatoes, onion, zucchini, cumin, and paprika. Cook until the vegetables are tender and everything is steaming. Divide over brown rice into four bowls and finish with lime or cilantro. Protein and energy needs vary, so adjust the rice and toppings to appetite. Cool leftovers promptly in shallow covered containers. #HighProteinDinner #BeefSkillet #BlackBeans #BalancedDinner
