1. In a large deep skillet with a lid, cook the ground beef and onion on medium-high heat until ground beef until it’s no longer pink and it has reached 155-degree Fahrenheit.
2. Add onion powder, garlic powder, beef bouillon, pepper, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce into the ground beef and stir until it’s combined well.
