HOW TO MAKE EASY HOT HONEY BEEF BOWL
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
First, dice up yellow gold potatoes into small cubes. Next, season potatoes with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil. Combine and spread evenly on 13x9 pan.
Next, bake the potatoes for 30-35 minutes, or until they turn golden and crisp.
In a medium skillet on medium heat, cook lean ground beef. Once cooked, add 1 packet taco seasoning. Stir together.
Add 1-2 tablespoon water and 1 tablespoon tomato paste to ground beef.
Once it is well combined, turn off heat and set aside.
For this recipe, I used frozen corn. Heat corn based on instructions listed in package.
Once cooked, add paprika, garlic powder, chili lime seasoning, salt and pepper to taste.
Add mayo, sour cream, and lime juice.
Next, add small handful of cilantro and queso fresco cheese, and mix together.

TIPS AND TRICKS
Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.This quick hot honey beef bowl also makes a great meal prep option to enjoy throughout the week.
Protein: I recommend using lean ground beef to help decrease the amount of grease in skillet.
Sour Cream: If you're looking for a healthier alternative to sour cream, you can easily swap in Greek yogurt or creamy cottage cheese. Not only do these options add a boost of protein, but they also still deliver the same rich, delicious flavor!

Is hot honey a specific ingredient? Or do you mix spice into the honey? Also could you use regular honey instead of hot honey to make it less spicey?
Meghankay says
Hi! yes hot honey is a specific ingredient. It can be found at any local grocery store. It does have some heat to it, so if you prefer a less spicy option, I recommend regular honey or omitting it 🙂
Sandra says
How much beef…I’m dying to make this!
Meghankay says
1 lb ground beef! I'll add it in the recipe card 🙂
Katie says
I don’t see hot honey in the recipe- do you just add it on top after?
Meghankay says
Hi! yes you add the hot honey on top of the bowl once it is all assembled. 🙂
Katie says
Thanks!
