Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). I find that a well-heated oven helps everything cook evenly and get that delightful golden finish. In my large skillet, I sauté the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic over medium heat until they soften, which takes just about 5 minutes. Then, I add the ground beef, cooking it until fully browned, followed by a sprinkle of salt and pepper. The aromas wafting through my kitchen are just heavenly!
