Add the oil to a large dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat.
Next, add the onions and saute for 10 minutes, or until softened.
Then add the garlic cloves, give it a quick stir, then add the ground meat.
Cook until the meat is mostly browned, then add the spices and mix well.
Pour in the tomato sauce, stir, then reduce heat to low and cook for 2-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
