Korean Beef Bowls

If you need a quick and easy dinner, these healthy Korean Beef Bowls with Vegetables made with lean ground beef, a sweet and spicy Korean sauce, and plenty of vegetables are the perfect option. Love Korean recipes? Try this Slow Cooker Korean Chicken or Shredded Korean Pork . Instead of opting for take-out, make this delicious Korean bowl instead! It couldn't be easier to make, works with any ground meat, and uses up any vegetables you have on hand. It's the best easy meal for busy nights. The key to making this recipe is the simple Korean-inspired sauce made with soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and chili paste. It's sweet, savory, and slightly spicy. It's inspired by bulgogi sauce that's typically used for Korean barbecue.  Now typically this recipe would have gochujang, a fermented Korean chili paste, but since many people shared they couldn't find it, I used sambal olek instead. Swap in gochujang if you have it! Love making healthy bowl recipe

Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

When I need an easy meal to feed a crowd, it's always this Crockpot Turkey Chili . I am obsessed and there is nothing better on a busy night than a warm bowl of chili with all your favorite toppings. First, let's talk about all the things that make this chili so good. It starts with a mix of sauteed onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and spices to build a strong flavor base. Then instead of reaching for ground beef for a traditional beef chili , I like to make this with lean ground turkey.  Everything is finished with beans, beef broth (to get that beefy chili flavor), and tomatoes. Cooking it in the slow cooker gives it a rich, deep flavor without needing to stand by the stove all day long to watch your simmering chili.  Now once you have made this amazing turkey chili, you will want to use it for everything! Start traditional and serve it with all your favorite toppings - diced onions, cilantro, shredded cheese, and avocado. Then get creative with the leftovers. Make healt
