2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. all-purpose Greek seasoning
11/2tsp. ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Cook ground round, onions and garlic in skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until beef is browned; drain well. Add Greek seasoning, cumin, salt and pepper and blend well.
