     Hello there, I'm back again with another recipe! One pot meals are my favorite to cook when I'm unsure of what to make for dinner but know that I want to get full. They are also really good when you think there is nothing to cook but you have different random ingredients. Just throw what you think will taste good together in a pot and try it.    Keeping things like diced tomatoes, tomato paste, rice, bouillon cubes and cornstarch for thickening, in your pantry is a great idea. They can help turn a few random ingredients in to a full meal.    There is no name for this meal because I simply suck at coming up with names for stuff and I just curated this.

Sometimes I have a hard time figuring out what I want to cook for the family for dinner. With him not eating seafood or lamb, my choices are limited to beef, chicken and turkey. I have ground beef in the fridge that I am defrosting for use tonight. When in doubt, I google a recipe.  I just ran across a quick recipe that did not require a lot of ingredients and takes no time to make. I chose this particular recipe because I am a fan of the brown sugar and soy sauce combo. I also chose it because it is made with ease. I did have improvise a bit because I did not have two of the ingredients, the sesame oil and the green onions. Here is the recipe, Korean Beef . I used olive oil in the place of the sesame oil and I added a little onion to the skillet after browning the beef in the place of the green onions. I put then beef over a bed of white rice (I used minute rice, which made it even quicker). It turned out great and I will definitely be making this quick and easy meal again....
