Brown the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, diced onions, green peppers, and minced garlic. Cook until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender.

Drain Off the Fat: Once the meat is cooked through, drain off any excess fat from the skillet.

Thicken the Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken slightly, stirring occasionally. This will help intensify the flavors and create a rich, hearty sauce.
