Ground Beef Marsala Sauce is a twist on the classic chicken marsala dish, which is a popular Italian-American recipe. This version swaps out chicken for ground beef, making it a heartier and more substantial dish that is perfect for meat-lovers. The sauce is made with dry Marsala wine, sherry, and water, which are all simmered together with garlic and sliced mushrooms to create a rich and flavorful sauce that is full of depth and complexity. Serve it over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.

Instructions

1.	In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned.
2.	Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
3.	Add the flour to the skillet and stir until the flour is absorbed into the beef mixture.
4.	Pour in the Marsala wine, sherry, and water and stir until combined.
5.	Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
6.	Serve over your favorite pasta or with crusty bread, and enjoy!
