Hamburger Pepper Steak

This is a family favorite and easy enough to make.  ESPECIALLY if you have pre-cooked hamburger in the freezer. I just browned 5# with salt, pepper and some minced garlic. Then I put it in sandwich baggies to keep in the freezer and use as needed. Saves so much time! We always laugh when I say I'm making pepper steak for dinner because every.single.time my daughter says, "I hate pepper steak!" And I say, "no you don't". And then she will have 2 or more bowls full and we all laugh. =0)
