HEALTH & BENEFITS

Lean ground beef is a source of protein and provides essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12.
The onion soup mix or fresh onions can boost the nutritional value of this recipe, as onions contain fiber, vitamins C and B6, potassium, and other antioxidants.
If you’re looking to reduce your sodium intake, you can make your own low-salt beef seasoning mix at home instead of using the pre-packaged onion soup mix.
Barbecue sauce is high in sugar, so it’s best to use it in moderation. You can look for low-sugar or sugar-free options at the store, or make your own healthier BBQ sauce at home using ingredients like honey, tomato paste, and apple cider vinegar.
