• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
• 1 onion (medium, diced)
• 0.5 red bell pepper (diced)
• 0.5 green bell pepper (diced)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, diced red bell pepper, and diced green bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are soft.

   Add the lean ground beef, salt, black pepper, paprika, chili powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook, breaking up the beef as it browns, until the meat is browned.

3. 3

   Stir in the tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute to deepen its flavor.

4. 4

7. 7

   Serve hot and enjoy.
