Lean Beef Paella!

Happy Day 2 Champions! 

   How was Day 1?? Get your water in ? 

If not, don't worry ! It is a huge adjustment, and just keep trying, soon you won't even remember a time you didn't drink that much water and you will start to notice the impact of not drinking water.

I look forward to following along with you all, and helping out in anyway I can ! 

Lean Beef Paella

Inspired by Creative & Healthy Fun Food

2 Cups Brown Rice

1 lb Ground Lean Beef 

1/2 Onion

1 Red Pepper

1 Yellow Pepper

1 Orange Pepper

3 Garlic Cloves

2 Tablespoons of Turmeric

1 Teaspoon Paprika

3 Cups Chicken Broth or Water ( I used water, because I forgot to buy Chicken Broth :/ womp womp)

Salt and Pepper 

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions 

1. In a large pan saute onions with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Garlic, Salt and Pepper. Add the Ground Beef. Cook for about 5 minutes. 

2. Add Orange and Yellow Peppers and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add Rice, Paprika, Turmeric, and mix well. Add Chicken Broth and cover the pan. 

3. Let it cook on low to medium heat for about 20 - 25 minutes until liquid is absorbed. 

4. Cut up Red Pepper. Preheat oven to 425º.  

5. Once 20 - 25 minutes is over place cut up Red Pepper on top of rice mixture. Place in oven for 5-10 minutes until a golden brown crust is created. 

6. Serve & Enjoy! 

Portion wise this is 4 servings, but I have to tell you it is a lot of food, and this ends up being about 5-6 servings for me especially when I pair it with a salad. So see how you feel and go from there :)

**Also! While you can have this on the 24 Day Challenge, and of course you can have brown rice. Talk with your coach about the carb intake because some people don't suggest having carbs on the Cleanse Phase** 

I would love to hear different takes on this dish, get creative and throw in whatever you want ! This is a great "whole sink" kind of dish so have fun with it! 

Until next time....
