Heat a large, heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil to pot and swirl around. When hot, add onion and saute, stirring frequently to make sure it does not brown.

When translucent, about 3-4 minutes, add the smashed garlic and stir constantly for about a minute, making sure the garlic doesn't brown.
Add ground chuck to pot and break up with a spatula. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking up the meat so it ends up in crumbles.
Drain off excess fat, if necessary and add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to a gentle simmer.

Let simmer covered for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Uncover and bring the mixture back to a boil. Stir and then bring temperature down again to a gentle simmer.
Let the mixture simmer until it has reduced slightly and thickens. Taste for additional seasonings and serve with cornbread.
