oil to pot, then the two large onions diced fine (not minced), and then add
five to six cloves of minced garlic (or to your taste) to oil dripping and
the onion. Very, very slowly brown onions stirring often. Do not let it
burn or the sauce will taste burned.

For MEAT start like this;

Add 1/4 cup of oil to pot, then the two large onions diced fine (not
minced), and then add five to six cloves of minced garlic (or to your
taste) to oil dripping and the onion. Very, very slowly brown onions
stirring often. Do not let it burn or the sauce will taste burned.

Add your meat and brown, breaking up the meat into the size you want to
eat.
