  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1½ cups onion and 1 pound beef; cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
