10 -
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup hot honey, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. This sweet and spicy mixture is key to your High Protein Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl Recipe.
02 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
03 -
Pour the prepared hot honey glaze over the browned ground beef. Stir well to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and infuse the beef. This creates the signature flavor for your High Protein Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl Recipe.
04 -
Divide 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa evenly among four serving bowls. Top each portion with 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped. The residual heat from the beef will gently wilt the spinach, preparing the base for your High Protein Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl Recipe.
05 -
Spoon the hot honey glazed ground beef generously over the quinoa and spinach in each bowl. Ensure an even distribution of the flavorful beef mixture across all four servings.
06 -
Garnish each bowl with 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts, and 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped. These toppings add essential texture and freshness.
07 -
Serve your High Protein Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl Recipe immediately with lime wedges for an extra burst of citrus. Enjoy this satisfying and flavor-packed meal!
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the hot honey glaze.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
03 -
Feel free to swap quinoa for brown rice or cauliflower rice, and spinach for kale or mixed greens to customize your bowl.
04 -
Consider adding diced avocado or a fried egg on top for even more healthy fats and protein.
