Notes

  • If you like, you can use a mix of pork and beef for additional flavor. Make sure the meat is as lean as possible so that it doesn’t release much grease.
  • You can drain the fat released from the meat during cooking if desired.
  • The best vegetables to use: corn, green beans, green peas.
