Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 2 Tbsp. ketchup
  • 2 tsp. onion powder
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot over medium heat. Once hot add olive oil and ground beef. Break up and cook until no longer pink. If there's a lot of grease, drain it out. Stir in ketchup, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and salt.
