SAUCE
Prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and break it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic. Cook until the ground beef is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, and the food reaches at least 71 C (160 F), about 7 minutes.
Add the basil leaves, then pour in the sauce. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and enjoy over a bowl of white rice. Makes 4 servings.
