Puerto Rican Beef

From Joyful Noise Acres Farm

<p>Don&#8217;t limit this dish to just beef, mix ground pork and chicken, ground lamb, stew meat from lamb or beef, you will not be dissappointed. If you like to eat on the spicy side, chop up a jalapeno pepper for some extra kick. We enjoy this with extra veggies mixed in to make it a one dish meal.</p>
