How To Use Your Already Prepared Foods

I’m going to show you how easy it is to use already prepared food that’s in your fridge to create something a little different if you have the time and desire to do so.  I keep most of my food ready in containers in the refrigerator if I need to grab and eat on the run (no excuses, right?), but if I have the time I can always turn it into something a little fancier and fresh, just like this simple yet tasty dish.

6 oz pre-cooked beef
4 – 6 purple onion rings
1/3 cup Zucchini squash, chopped
1/2 cup fresh broccoli florets
2 Tbsp green pepper
2 Tbsp red pepper
Tiny pinch cayenne pepper (to taste)
1/2 Tbsp Bragg Amino Acid
1/4 tsp garlic powder (or to taste)
Water as needed

These listed food items are ones that you should have already cut, cleaned, cooked, etc in your fridge.  I had my beef already cooked into a patty and all my veggies were washed and cut up.  All I had to do was cut a few of the veggies into a little smaller pieces and chop up my beef patty.

Start by sautéing your onions in a pan (you can lightly spray with spray oil if you’d like, but I like to sauté with a little water).  Once they are slightly cooked, add in broccoli and squash.  Cook for approximately 1 minute and add in green and red peppers.  Sprinkle with your garlic powder and cayenne pepper and add in Bragg Amino Acid and stir.

If your water completely cooks out, you can add 1 Tbsp at a time until everything is cooked to your desired texture.  Finally, add in your already cooked beef, ensuring there is a little water left, which will help make your beef nice and juicy again and not be overcooked.  Heat just long enough to the warm the beef and cook the water out then remove from heat and enjoy!
