Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1 -In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil.

Step 2 -Add the beef, the onions, the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper to the heated olive oil and cook, while crumbling the meat, until the beef is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the excess grease.
