Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. Prepare the beef mixture ahead of time for quick dinners.
