4 servings
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- ½ cup scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
Ingredient noteTomatoes carry a little excess fructose that a low fructose diet watches in larger servings; the small amount used here keeps the fructose load low, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid diced tomatoes, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For serving
- 4 gluten free hamburger buns
Instructions
- 1
Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the scallion greens and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pepper is softened and the scallions are fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains and the meat registers 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 7–8 minutes. Tilt the skillet and spoon off any excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
