Tips
- • For the best flavor, use high-quality ground beef with a slight fat content (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio) to ensure juiciness. • Make sure to drain excess fat after browning the beef to prevent a greasy final dish. • Let the mixture simmer on low heat to allow the flavors to blend thoroughly and develop a rich, deep taste. • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or use hot chili powder. • If you want to make it healthier, consider using lean ground turkey instead of beef. • Serve with a side of rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. • Grate your own cheese for a fresher, more melty topping compared to pre-shredded varieties.
