I always made from scratch by guessing the amounts and tasting, but since I decided to post the recipe on Cookpad, I measured out the ingredients.

Simmer slowly over low heat to bring out the flavor of the vegetables.
The version in the picture doesn't have shiitake mushrooms, but adding them produces a wonderful mushroom meat sauce.
I sometimes combine both consomme bouillon cubes and chicken granules soup stock, which makes for a richer, more delicious flavor! Try it out if you have a chance! For 3-4 servings. Recipe by -Mari-

Steps

1

Cook the garlic and chili pepper in olive oil. Once the garlic becomes aromatic, add the onion and carrot and cook.
2

Once the onions brown; add the bell pepper, shiitake mushroom, and ground meat and cook.
3

Once the meat has slightly browned, add all of the ★ ingredients and simmer slowly over low heat.
4

Once it starts to bubble, add the butter. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
5

If you added a chili pepper and bay leaf, remove them and it's complete! I rarely ever use them! It's plenty delicious without it.
6

Note: I add a teaspoon of sugar. If you taste it and feel it's too acidic, then add 2 teaspoons of sugar.
7

Butter gives a nice richness.
