2 medium carrots, finely diced
2 stalks celery, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground beef (80/20)
Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground beef and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
½ lb ground pork
