Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I like to start by preheating my oven to 375°F (190°C). While that heats up, I get to work on the filling. In a large skillet over medium heat, I brown the ground beef and Italian sausage until thoroughly cooked. I add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté them until they’re soft and fragrant. The mixture starts to create a heavenly aroma in my kitchen, and I can hardly wait to get everything combined! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
