Ground Beef with Tomatoes is a hearty and versatile dish often found in various cuisines, including American, Mediterranean, and Mexican cooking. It typically consists of lean ground beef, fresh or canned tomatoes, onions, garlic, and a combination of herbs and spices. This dish can be served on its own, over rice, pasta, or used as a filling for tacos and wraps. Nutritionally, ground beef provides protein, iron, and essential vitamins such as B12, while tomatoes are rich in antioxidants like vitamin C and lycopene. For a healthier version, choosing extra-lean beef reduces saturated fat intake, and limiting added salt can help control sodium levels. While flavorful and satisfying, traditional recipes may include higher-fat beef or excessive oils, so mindful preparation is key for maintaining its nutritional benefits. This dish’s simplicity and adaptability make it a favorite for diverse diets and meal plans.
