Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (or a combination of beef and pork)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Mashed potatoes or cooked rice, for serving
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Break the meat apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- Once the meat is browned, remove any excess fat from the skillet.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the meat and onion mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
- Gradually add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme to the skillet, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens and the flavors meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the French Onion Savory Mince over mashed potatoes or cooked rice.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
