For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the ground beef with a tablespoon of soy sauce. Adjust the amount of gochujang to your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also add an extra kick. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as mushrooms or zucchini, to the sauce. If you don't have heavy cream, you can use half-and-half, but the sauce won't be as rich. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and freshness.

Drain any excess grease.
