# Instructions:

01 - Heat a big pot on medium and cook the beef till it’s browned. If there’s extra fat, you can drain it.

03 - Once it’s bubbling a little, reduce the heat and cover. Keep cooking for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
04 - Spoon it into bowls and add your favorite toppings like chips, cheese, sour cream, onions, or avocado.

# Notes:

01 - Slow cooker option: Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.
02 - For a healthier twist, try ground turkey instead of beef.
03 - Stores in the fridge for 4 to 5 days just fine.
04 - Can be frozen for up to 3 months without any issues.
