remember we are going to cook everything
13:43
in there i'm going to add 1 tbsp of
13:46
butter
13:48
we'll get that melting and then to that
13:51

13:53
cooking oil
13:55
using my new fancy dancy oil it's a
13:59
sprayer and it measures out oil for you
14:03
all right we're going to bring that to a
14:04
sizzle okay what I have here is about
14:07
one onion diced in a bell pepper diced
14:10
now you don't have to add the bell
14:12
pepper if you don't want to i'm just
14:13
bulking it up adding some flavor
14:17
i'm going to cook this down
14:20
until the peppers and onions are nice
14:21
and soft and you want those onions to be
14:24
translucent
14:25
the onions and peppers are nice and soft
14:27
we're going to go ahead and add some
14:29
ground beef i've got two lbs here okay
14:32
I'm going to break it all up i'm going
14:34
to bring you back and the ground beef is
14:36
browned up and ready to go okay the
14:38
ground beef is all browned up i'm going
14:40
to push it off to the side we're going
14:42
to take out any excess grease in there
14:44
i'm just going to use some paper towels
14:46
that I rolled up together get any excess
14:48
out i'm going to add our minced garlic
14:52
stir that in for about 1 minute that'll
14:55
help release the flavor of the garlic
14:57
get our meat nice and aromatic bringing
15:00
my salt and pepper over about 1/4 of a
15:02
teaspoon of each one just to start
15:06
getting those flavors going we're going
15:08
to add in three tablespoons of butter

and three three tablespoons of
15:14
allpurpose flour
15:16
we're going to stir this around for 2
15:19
minutes
15:20
that will help cook out the rawness of
15:22
the flour and get everything nice and
15:24
coated and it'll help thicken our sauce
15:27
as we're building it let's flavor it up
15:29
we got one can of cream of soup you got
15:31
cream of mushroom cream of celery i'm
15:33
using cream of chicken whatever you have
