Cooking Directions
Prepare the Ingredients
Finely chop the carrot, celery, onion, and mince the garlic cloves.

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
Add Garlic
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Brown the Meat
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ground beef and pork, and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
