Ingredients
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium red onion diced
  • 10 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 jalapeños diced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
For serving:

Instructions
  1. Add the butter to a large cast iron skillet on medium heat.
