- Add vegetables to the beef and stir to combine.

Helpful hints
- Kitchen Bouquet® browning and seasoning sauce is a low-sodium seasoning that adds extra color and flavor to meat and vegetables.
- Compare pita brands and select the lowest sodium brand. Select white or wheat--both are kidney-friendly.
