Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by browning the ground beef (or turkey, whichever I have on hand) in a large pot over medium heat. The sizzle and aroma are just so inviting! I usually break the meat apart with a wooden spoon and let it cook until browned, which takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Once that’s done, I add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant—about 3-4 minutes. The smell at this stage is simply divine and fills my kitchen with warmth! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
