Picadillo

This is a wonderful Cuban picadillo recipe with ground beef and chorizo sausage. I serve it in a bowl (like chili), on a roll, or over cornbread.

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and sausage; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain some grease.
