Ingredienser

1 pound 80/20 ground beef

Vejledning

Add the beef into a large skillet and spread it out evenly. Mix the spices into the 1/2 cup of water to dissolve the salt. Add everything into the skillet.

Set burner to medium heat and as the pan warms, work with the ground beef, breaking it up into small pieces. A disk type potato masher works well for this using a light pressure and a twisting motion. Continue to break up the beef as it cooks, and when water is evaporated and there is no longer any pink in the beef, drain excess grease. If necessary, more water may be added by the quarter cupful if the beef is still pink by the time the water has evaporated.

Taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper if desired. Immediately remove from heat.
