Simple Ground Beef Curry

Here is a recipe where I completely just winged it trying to make a low carb curry one night for Mike and we both really enjoyed it. I've made it a few times now and it turns out good but the first time was the best. I think I keep adding too much lemon juice! I didn't really measure so the amounts are not exact. I may have to come back and edit this one once I make it again.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. ground beef, perferably around 80% lean I think.
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green or red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. curry powder
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder
  • cayenne to taste for spicy heat, I usually use about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. I think
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (yes this is rich.)
  • several Tbsp. of sour cream
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • salt
Directions:

  1. In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and saute for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add peppers and cook for several minutes until tender, then stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in the spices and cook for less than a minute.
  5. Stir in the heavy whipping cream, sour cream, and the lemon juice and then season with salt.
  6. Meanwhile, in a second large skillet on medium heat, break the ground beef into bite size chunks with a plastic spatula and cook thoroughly.
  7. When the meat is done, pour the curry sauce over it and let simmer briefly before serving.
