Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450g) ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (240ml) salsa (mild, medium, or spicy based on preference)

  3. Add the onion and garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the salsa, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
