Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, heat your skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces. After about 5 minutes, add in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant. The smell of sizzling beef mixed with garlic is absolutely divine! Once your meat is fully cooked and there’s no pink left, drain any excess fat. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
