Heat olive oil in a large skillet over med-high heat
Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent
Add ground beef and garlic, breaking up ground beef with a wooden spoon until browned
Drain any excess grease
Stir in Italian seasoning, garlic salt, black pepper, lemon pepper, onion powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder
Sauté this mixture for about 2 minutes
Add tomato paste and sauté for another minute
Stir in canned petite diced tomatoes
Add water and bring to a boil
Cover slightly ajar or use a splatter guard (I love this one)
Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 20 minutes stirring occasionally
