Get a large skillet going over medium-high heat and add in a drizzle of olive oil, the diced onions and garlic. Let sauté for ~3-5 minutes then add in the ground beef. Break it up into chunks and let sear for a few minutes to build some crust. Season and continue breaking up the beef. Once it's about ~75%-80% done, add in the hot sauce and honey. Continue mixing every few minutes until the beef is cooked through and slightly carmelized.
