Favorite Ground Beef

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   Add the ground beef and continue to cook, stirring often for another 8 - 10 minutes.

3. 3

   While the meat is cooking, dissolve the beef base (or bouillon if using) in 1/4 cup of hot water.

4. 4

   When the beef is no longer pink, add the dissolved base/bouillon and mix well.

5. 5

   Cover and turn heat to low. Cook for at least 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove lid and turn up heat to medium-high.

7. 7

   Cook, stirring often, until the water is evaporated and the meat is dark brown and starting to get a little crispy.

8. 8

   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.)

9. 9

   Serve immediately.
