  • Increase temperature to medium and add the ground meat, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, carrots, onion, & mushrooms.  Cook as you would to brown ground beef (reducing heat if it seems to be cooking at too high a temperature) until ground meat is no longer "pink."  Drain off as much of the resulting liquid and discard.
