1. 01

   Preheat your Pellet Joe to 350°F (175°C) using indirect heat setup with a deflector plate in place.

   In a skillet or cast-iron pan, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned. Break it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Remove any excess grease.

   Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan with the cooked meat. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
