Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, I crave that perfect caramelization of the onions that brings out their natural sweetness. So, in my trusty skillet, I heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and toss in the sliced onions. Stir them occasionally and savor that warm smell as they become golden brown. It usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Add in the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until it’s browned through. Season it with garlic powder, salt, and pepper for added flavor, and let it all cook together nicely. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
