Instructions
- 1
Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains at the center, about 7–8 minutes. Tilt the pot and spoon off all but about 1 tbsp of the rendered fat.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
