   • In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
   • Once the sugar has melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pickling mixture cool to room temperature.

2. Combine Ingredients:

   • While the pickling mixture is cooling, prepare the remaining ingredients.
   • In a large container or bowl, combine the drained beets (you can use 2 cans if you’re a beet lover like me!), hard-boiled eggs (peeled and halved), and thinly sliced onion.

3. Pickling Process:

   • Once the pickling mixture has cooled, pour it over the beets, eggs, and onions in the container.
   • Gently toss everything together to ensure that the pickling liquid coats all the ingredients evenly.

4. Chill and Serve:

   • Cover the container and refrigerate the pickled eggs and beets for at least 2 hours before serving. However, for the best flavor, I recommend letting it sit overnight if you can resist the temptation!
   • The longer the pickled eggs and beets marinate in the refrigerator, the more flavorful they become, so feel free to make this dish ahead of time.
