Notes
Brown ground beef properly: Let it sear in the large pan before stirring too much for juicy flavor.
Use meal prep containers: Store the cooked ground beef and salad ingredients in a separate container so nothing gets soggy.
Make extra special sauce: It keeps well in an airtight container and is great on smash burgers and Big Mac sloppy joes.
