        Mix the ground beef with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            \n
          • \n

            Preventing Onions from Splitting:<\/strong> To avoid the pearl onions from bursting while cooking, make a small \u201c+\u201d cut at the root end of each peeled onion.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
