- 6
- Serves:
-
4-5
ingredients
- 1 large red onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoons beef base (see note)
- 1⁄4 cup hot water
- black pepper, to taste
directions
- Cook the diced onion and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the onion is translucent and starting to brown. About 6 - 8 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and continue to cook, stirring often for another 8 - 10 minutes.
- While the meat is cooking, dissolve the beef base (or bouillon if using) in 1/4 cup of hot water.
- When the beef is no longer pink, add the dissolved base/bouillon and mix well.
- Cover and turn heat to low. Cook for at least 10 minutes.
- Remove lid and turn up heat to medium-high.
- Cook, stirring often, until the water is evaporated and the meat is dark brown and starting to get a little crispy.
- Taste -- if the meat tastes a bit plain, add more dissolved beef base or beef bouillon until it tastes yummy-good. (Older ground beef tends to need a lot more flavoring.)
- Serve immediately.
