Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (omit for AIP)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp oregano

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F and grease a 9×13″ baking dish with avocado oil.
- Using a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and oregano. Drain the excess fat and set aside.
