Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I like to preheat my oven to 425°F (220°C). While that’s heating up, I grab my large skillet and drizzle a little olive oil in it. Once it’s hot, I add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing them until they’re fragrant and golden. Then, I add the ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking them apart with my mixing spoon, cooking until browned and no longer pink. It’s amazing how that combination of meats fills the kitchen with mouthwatering aromas! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
