Ingredients
- 2 lbs (1 kg) lean ground pork
- 2 onions, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp (5 mL) EACH salt and black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat, add the pork, onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring often to break into crumbles, until the pork is fully cooked and the onions are softened, about 8–10 minutes. Then set aside to cool just until the mixture stops steaming.
Step 2
Divide the pork into meal-sized portions in shallow containers and refrigerate uncovered. Once the pork is completely cold, cover the containers with lids. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
