RECIPE TIPS
- After cooking the ground beef, drain excess fat if any, for a lighter meal
- Add a splash of hot sauce for a more grown-up flavor
- Sometimes I add chopped olives for extra flavor
- If you like a cheesy mix, add shredded cheese to the meat mixture, or add a slice of cheese to the bun.
