- 1/2 medium yellow onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

When hot, add ground beef and onion to the pan and cook, crumbling the meat as you go, for about 5 minutes, until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt; cook for about 1 minute more, then remove pan from the heat.
