If I had to live off of one type of food for the rest of my life it would, without a doubt, be pasta! It is nearly impossible to mess up noodles and you can eat them them with pesto, marinara, vodka sauce or bolognese. I love making a large batch of this meat sauce and having leftovers for an easy weeknight dinner or to freeze for later.
- You Will Need:
- 1 Garlic Clove, minced
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Pound Lean Ground Beef
- 1 Green Pepper
- 1 Vidalia Onion
- 1 can Tomato Paste
- 1 jar Marinara Sauce ( I used Ragu - Sauteed Onion and Garlic)
- 2 cans Diced Tomatoes w/ olive oil and garlic
- 1 Tbsp Oregano
- 2 bay Leaves
- 1 Tbsp Minced Onion
- 1 Tbsp Dried Basil
- 1 Tbsp Garlic Salt
- Salt & Pepper
Here We Go:
- Heat olive oil in large stockpot on med/low
- Mince Garlic, add to stockpot and saute for 2 minutes
- Add Ground Beef and Saute until Brown and then drain
- Finely Chop Green Pepper and Onion
- Add remaining Tbsp of olive oil to stock pot and saute peppers and onions for 5 minutes or until soft
- Return Meat to pan and add jar of sauce, can of tomato paste and both cans of diced tomatoes
- Stir well and while sauce is simmering add Basil, Bay Leaves, Minced Onion, Garlic Salt and Oregano
- Add Salt and Pepper to Taste
- Let sauce simmer on Med/Low for at least 15-20 minutes.
Serves 6-8 Happy Feasting! |
