Hamburger Stir-Fry is a quick, hearty meal that combines the rich, savory flavor of ground beef with the vibrant, fresh crunch of stir-fried vegetables. This dish is perfect for weeknight dinners when you need something satisfying but fast. The ground beef adds a robust base, while the veggies provide a mix of color, texture, and nutrients. It’s a versatile stir-fry that you can adjust based on what vegetables you have on hand, and it’s delicious served over rice, noodles, or on its own.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, sliced

Instructions:
