Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I heat my large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef. I let it brown for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s nice and cooked through. The smell of sizzling beef filling the kitchen is pure bliss! Next, I toss in the diced onion, garlic, and green bell pepper, sautéing them until the vegetables soften, which usually takes about 4 minutes. This is the moment when the aromas really come alive in my kitchen. The combination of meat and veggies makes my mouth water! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
