Beef and Bulgur Salad

My whole family really loves this recipe. I've been making it for awhile. Got the original recipe here.

 

1 cup bulgur, prepared according to package directions

1 pound ground beef

1 medium-size onion, chopped

3 to 4 large cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

2 tomatoes, diced

1 small head iceberg lettuce, rough chopped

While bulgur is cooking according to package directions, heat a large non-stick skillet to medium high and add ground beef.  Brown ground beef breaking it up as you go for about 8-10 minutes or until almost fully cooked.

Add onions, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Continue cooking over medium high heat, stirring occasionally and allowing onions and garlic to soften and become fragrant, about 3 more minutes.

Add tomatoes to beef mixture, stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium.

By this time your bulgur should be ready (water fully absorbed).

Add bulgur to skillet with beef mixture and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and add additional salt or pepper if needed.

Remove from heat and serve individually over beds of lettuce. Top with cheese, sour cream, and salsa as desired.
