Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
