Korean Ground Beef Bowls

My husband and I enjoyed this, the spice was perfect. Well, I would live a little more but my doctor took all spice and caffeine away from me. I am still working on both. 😁

I did add a little extra sauce so it would not be too dry when I served it with rice. I think I would also use fresh ginger and jalapenos instead of the pepper flakes.

Here is the original recipe.
