4 tbsp. butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ground beef and stir to break up meat. Sauté until cooked through. Stir in mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove skillet from stovetop and drain excess fat.
