Recipe View 20 mins Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the meat is richly flavored, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

For a deeper, richer flavor, toast the spices in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before combining. Be careful not to burn them!
Adjust the amount of ground red pepper to control the spiciness. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for extra heat.
If you don't have beef bouillon granules, you can substitute with an equal amount of beef broth concentrate or a half cube of beef bouillon, crushed.
This seasoning blend is also delicious with ground turkey or chicken.

    I doubled the recipe and stored the extra seasoning blend in an airtight container. So convenient!
