Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • kosher salt, to taste

Directions

Step 1 -In a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat, warm the olive oil.

Step 2 -Add the beef, the onion, the salt, and the pepper and cook, while crumbling the beef, until the meat is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the excess fat.

Step 6 -Garnish with the Roma tomatoes and the green onions and serve.
