Method
 

  1. Heat butter in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Sauté diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until soft and fragrant.
    A Dutch oven on medium-low heat with butter melting as diced onions and minced garlic sizzle gently, releasing their fragrance. A pinch of salt and pepper is added for seasoning
  2. Increase heat to medium, add ground beef (or beef and sausage), and cook until browned. Drain excess grease.
