How to Make One Pot Beefaroni
  1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, stirring occasionally. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish flavorful and not greasy.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, filling your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma—about 3-4 minutes.
