Do the same for your onion, personally I use a slap chop because as my husband says "I'm a big baby" and it chops it up nice and fine without the crying so that makes me one happy cook!

The meat mixture should be done by this time. The meat should be thicker. How I test it is I scrap my spoon into the mixture if I see that I can make a clear path then it's ready.

If you cannot make a path or a hole without the juices coming back and filling up the pan you'll need to cook it for a bit longer. You want the mixture thick, not runny. If you have questions ask :D!

Once your noodles are done simply drain and allow to cool.
