Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 6 cups (loosely packed) baby spinach
- 1 14.5-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 0.25 cup (grated, optional for garnish) parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Step 5
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Gradually add the baby spinach to the skillet, stirring it in as it wilts. Continue adding until all the spinach is incorporated and wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Serve hot, optionally garnished with grated parmesan cheese. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or enjoy on its own for a low-carb meal.
