Hey there,
I absolutely love this meal! I make it every week, but I have a question: What kind of ground beef are you using? I'm tracking all my macros and I use the nutrition info you provide, but I want to make sure it's accurate and that I'm getting the right ground beef and not something too lean/fatty.
Thanks!
I use a pretty lean version. I usually use 80/20 ground beef.
Awesome, thank you so much! I'm making another batch tonight 🙂
Sound great. I'm so happy you liked the recipe!
Can this be frozen?
