Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
- 1 cup beef broth
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Pour 1 tbsp olive oil into a large skillet, heating it to medium (325°F) for about 2 minutes until it shimmers.
- Drop chopped onion and minced garlic into the hot oil, stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Crumble 1 lb ground beef into the skillet, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spatula and cooking for 6-8 minutes until no pink remains.
- Open a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes and pour them directly into the meat mixture, followed by 1 cup beef broth.
- Sprinkle 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning across the surface, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Reduce heat to low, covering the skillet and letting the mixture gently bubble for 15-20 minutes, which allows flavors to meld together.
- Remove from heat, letting the dish rest for 2-3 minutes before transferring to serving plates.
Notes
- Choosing lean ground beef helps reduce excess grease in the final dish.
- Letting the meat simmer slowly develops deeper, richer flavors and tenderizes the protein.
- Experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika or red pepper flakes to customize the taste profile.
- For a low-carb version, serve over cauliflower rice instead of traditional pasta or grains.
