Notes

For a lighter version, substitute ground beef with ground turkey and heavy cream with half-and-half. Feel free to customize the spices according to your taste preferences. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat with a splash of cream to restore creaminess.
