  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top of the beef mixture. Serve hot with your choice of side dish.
