Instructions:
Step 1
In a large pan or cast-iron skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned.

In a separate pan, sauté the onions and garlic in a little oil until translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Pro Tips:
Lean Beef: For a healthier option, use lean ground beef or even ground turkey. It will still be flavorful but with less fat.
Extra Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots to the mix for added nutrition and flavor.
Season to Taste: Adjust the spices to your liking. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the cayenne pepper or skip it altogether.
Sautéing Tip: Sauté the onions and garlic until they are golden for enhanced sweetness and depth of flavor.
Leftovers: This dish keeps well and often tastes even better the next day, making it perfect for meal prepping.
