Tips

• For a richer flavor, substitute half the ground beef with ground pork.
• If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer a bit longer or reduce the balsamic vinegar slightly before adding to the skillet.
• This dish can be served over mashed potatoes or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious glaze.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the glaze.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with garlic mashed potatoes.
• Pair with a fresh green salad.
• Add a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
