  1. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
  2. Saute the onion until translucent, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes, breaking into crumbles. Drain the cooked meat.
  4. Add the next 10 ingredients. Stir over medium heat until well blended. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Spoon the beef mixture onto each roll (they may be juicy). Serve immediately.
