Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef. I love the sizzling sound it makes when it hits the hot surface! I cook it until browned, breaking it apart with my wooden spoon. Once the beef is cooked through, I take a moment to relish the mouthwatering aroma in my kitchen. Next, I toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking them until they become tender and translucent. The scent is simply heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
