1 ¼ pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; saute onion in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Season onion with Italian seasoning; continue to saute until the herbs are fragrant, about 3 minutes more.
