Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground pork (lean)
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup beef broth (low sodium)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (fresh)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped)

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
