Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef, jalapeño peppers, garlic, paprika and cumin; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking beef into small crumbles and stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato sauce; continue to cook 3 to 5 minutes or until sauce is slightly reduced, stirring frequently.
Cooking Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

The Essential Ingredients
- Ground Beef: Also called ‘hamburger,’ it’s made by grinding beef cuts and beef trim. It works well in dishes that require crumbles, and typically any leanness of Ground Beef works well in dishes – just be sure to drain any remaining fat after cooking.
- Jalapeno: A medium size chili pepper, often bright green in color, known for its mild to moderate heat. They are widely used in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine. Pro tip: keep the seeds in for extra heat, and remove them for a more mild flavor.
- Garlic: A flavorful bulb that is related to the onion family. It has a strong aroma (that fills your kitchen), taste that enhances your dish and is known for its versatility.
- Egg: This well-known ingredient is high in protein, vitamins and minerals. It’s common in recipes like meatloaf, as it helps to bind ingredients together so it doesn’t fall apart while cooking.
- Paprika: A vibrant red spice made from ground dried red peppers. Paprika can be mild, hot, smoky, or sweet depending on the variety. Find this spice in everything from Spanish paella to Hungarian goulash.
