Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I heat a large pot over medium heat and add my ground beef or turkey. I break it up with my wooden spatula and cook until it’s nicely browned. The savory aroma of the meat sizzling feels like the start of something wonderful. Once the meat is cooked, I toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onions become translucent and fragrant. I love this part because it fills my kitchen with such a warm, inviting scent! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
