# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium pot, combine 1 1/2 cups uncooked jasmine rice and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is fluffy. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 yellow onion, diced, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in 3 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add 1 1/2 lbs 90% lean ground beef to the skillet with the aromatics. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet to ensure a lean Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl: High-Protein Meal Prep.

Pour the prepared hot honey sauce over the browned ground beef. Stir well to coat all the beef. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and flavors to meld for your Ground Beef Hot Honey Bowl.
