Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, cooking until it's almost completely browned (about 5 minutes).

Notes
I use whatever Whole30 compliant marinara sauce I can find- always looking for added sugar, milk, or soybean oil. You can also make your own!
