Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced

Preparation:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is browned and crumbled. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the flour to the pot and stir until the vegetables are coated. Cook for an additional minute or two, until the flour starts to brown.
