Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, I heat a tablespoon of olive oil in my large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef (or turkey). I cook it until it’s browned, breaking it up with my spatula as it cooks. Then, I toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic, letting them sauté until fragrant. This step adds an incredible aroma to my kitchen! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
