- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced

Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will taste lighter and less meaty; a mushroom-rich vegetable broth gives the closest beefy flavor. - 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper
