- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard or to taste

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir lean ground beef in the hot skillet until some of the fat starts to render, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper; continue to cook until vegetables have softened and beef is cooked through, 3 to 5 more minutes.

Notes
If using ground beef with a higher fat content than lean, be sure to drain any fat before starting Step 2.
