Follow these steps to make your own delicious Hot Honey Ground Beef Bowls. Remember, cooking is about enjoying the process as much as the result, so have fun with it!

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
4. Stir in the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and smoked paprika. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, letting the flavors meld together beautifully.
5. Add the sliced red bell pepper and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until they’re tender but still crisp.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I often remember my mom’s advice here—always taste as you go to ensure the flavors are balanced.
7. Serve the beef mixture over a bed of warm jasmine rice. Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for that extra crunch and visual appeal.
