Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve hot, either on its own or alongside your favorite Paleo-friendly sides, such as roasted vegetables or zucchini noodles.
