Instructions
Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary.
