Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2-3 cups low-sodium beef broth or water
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and brown, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain the beef and return it to the skillet.
  • Add 2 cups beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to the cooked ground beef. Bring the liquid to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 60 minutes, stirring and breaking the beef up finely every 10 minutes, adding more broth as needed to keep the beef moist.
  • After 50 minutes, remove the lid and continue to simmer until the liquid reduces and becomes slightly saucy. Taste and add salt if necessary.
  • Serve the juicy ground beef as desired in your favorite dishes.
