1 cup Chopped Onions

Add the ground beef and cook until almost all the pink is gone from the meat.
Add the beef broth stir well to loosen the meat bits from the bottom of the pan. Add remaining ingredients, except the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, cover pan and simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes

Tips For Success

- Use a low fat ground beef mixture. If you use lean ground beef, you won't need to drain the grease once the beef has browned. But if you want to use an 80/20% blend, it will work fine. Just drain any excess grease before continuing with the recipe.

- Garnish with chopped chives or chopped parsley to give it another layer of color.
