2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Vegetables:

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; cook until softened. Season with salt and black pepper.
