Notes
Refrigerate any leftover mixture in an airtight container for up to 4 days. If you’re concerned about the salt content in the recipe, rinse the dried beef before adding it to the skillet. If you do not want to use dried beef, you can use approximately 1 pound ground beef, browned and drained instead.
