Quick and Cheap Broccoli Beef

1lb lean ground beef or turkey

1 package of frozen broccoli florets (or you can use the equivalent in fresh)

2 cups rice uncooked or make cauliflower rice for you paleos

1/2 cup soy sauce, braggs aminos,or coconut aminos

1 1/2 cups water- divided

2 T cornstarch or arrow root powder

2 t sugar or 1 T real maple syrup

garlic powder

ginger powder

First up- Defrost 1lb of hamburger (obviously, if yours isn't frozen omit this step)

 Cook 2 cups of rice according to package directions

 While you are waiting for the hamburger and rice get out all your ingredients (not pictured is 1-1/12 cups water, and 2 t sugar).

Then start browning the 'burger

When it's cooked add the soy sauce and 1 cup water.

 Mix the corn starch into the remaining 1/2 c water and throw that in too, then you can sprinkle in the garlic, ginger and sugar to taste.

 Toss in the broccoli ... 

Cover and simmer until broccoli is cooked and your sauce has thickened. This usually takes less than 10 minutes.

 And voila! Dinner is ready! 

 The time was 6:12 pm when I started defrosting the hamburger and it was 6:50pm when I took the last picture. That's a pretty quick and easy dinner!

 And it looks yummy too!

It gets a thumbs up from this kid who eats his broccoli like candy first!
