Ingredients  

1 tablespoon olive oil  

1 pound lean ground beef  

1/2 cup onion, chopped (plus extra for garnish) 

3 cloves garlic 

1 bell pepper, chopped 

1 14-ounce can no-salt-added crushed tomatoes

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground Tellicherry black pepper

Instructions 

  1. In a large pan, add the olive oil, ground beef and onions, and sauté over medium heat until the meat browns, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and bell pepper and sauté until the pepper begins to soften, about 4 more minutes.
