2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 1/2 cups yellow onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 lb. ground beef

1 tsp. kosher salt

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and continue to cook for one minute. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it's browned. Season with salt and pepper.

Uncover and add the olives and raisins and mix until combined. Continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes. Serve in bowls topped with a freshly baked biscuit or over white rice.
