Directions

Recipe by: Skinny One-Pot Meals - ISBN 0-940625-75-X In large skillet, combine beef, onion, garlic, green pepper, and carrot. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 7 or 8 mins. Remove skillet from burner. Turn meat mixture out onto plate covered with paper towels to absorb any excess fat. Return mixture to skillet, and return to burner.

Add bouillon and tomato paste, stirring to combine well. Stir in mustard, thyme, marjoram, salt, if desired, black pepper, and hot pepper sauce, if desired. Simmer, covered, 10 to 12 mins.

Stir in sour cream and cook 1 or 2 mins longer. Serve over baked potatoes.
