Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 85% lean, browned and drained

- 1 cup Thai peanut sauce store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup chicken broth low sodium preferred
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free

Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Make-Ahead: Prepare the mixture in the slow cooker, cool completely, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Substitutions: Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. For a vegetarian version, use crumbled tofu or tempeh. Serving Suggestions: Serve over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, or on a whole wheat pizza crust for a more traditional pizza feel. For a spicier kick, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
