Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 85% lean
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 cup yellow onion diced
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper diced
- 2 clove garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese shredded, optional
- 2 tbsp green onions sliced, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Prep the vegetables: dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic. Slice green onions for garnish.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add olive oil, then add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up, until browned with no pink, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Drain excess fat if needed. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and stir in Worcestershire sauce.
- Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly. Make 4 small wells and crack 1 egg into each. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until whites are set and yolks reach desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes.
- If using, sprinkle cheddar over the skillet during the last minute to melt. Garnish with green onions and serve hot.
Notes
Serve with toast, tortillas, or over rice. Swap Worcestershire with soy sauce for a different twist, and adjust spices to taste. Cook eggs to your preferred doneness.
