I took ordinary ground beef and turned it into a new classic. With sweet and savory flavors, this dish will be a dinnertime favorite. We love this served in flour tortillas too! —Christine Keating, Norwalk, California

Directions

  1. Mix first 5 ingredients and, if desired, pepper flakes. In a large skillet, cook beef with onion, garlic and ginger over medium heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes, breaking meat into crumbles. Transfer to a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker. Add mushrooms, carrot, celery and red pepper; stir in sauce mixture.
  2. Cook, covered, on low until vegetables are tender and flavors are blended, 3-4 hours. Serve in lettuce leaves; sprinkle with green onions.
