Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 diced onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1 lb ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and crumbly, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Season with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir well and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat and serve hot. Use as a filling for tacos, on salads, or as a protein-packed snack.
