Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by heating my large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef along with the diced onion. I cook this mixture, breaking it up with my spatula until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. The aroma fills my kitchen and always puts a smile on my face! Once that’s done, I add in the minced garlic and give it a good stir, letting it cook for an additional minute until it’s fragrant. This combination of flavors is just heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
