📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef and aromatics (if using). Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper, if using.

For deeper flavor, allow the beef to sit undisturbed for a minute or two before stirring so it can develop some browning. Carefully drain excess grease, if desired. Use immediately in your recipe.
