A sauce to be made with stuff you'd usually have on hand. Its my mom's recipe, with one ammendment: onions. They add a sweeter taste to the sauce. If you want it even sweeter, add a red pepper. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil |
3 cloves garlic, crushed |
1 lb extra lean beef |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 green pepper, chopped |
2 (28 ounce) cans tomatoes |
2 (5 1/2 ounce) cans tomato paste |
1/2 cup vegetable stock |
1 (14 ounce) can sliced mushrooms |
1 teaspoon basil |
2 bay leaves |
salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in bottom of Dutch oven.
2. Cook garlic, onions,& green peppers for 3 or 4 minutes.
3. Add beef,& brown, not stirring too much, because you want chunks of beef.
4. Turn a few cranks of freshly ground pepper over beef as you cook.
5. When beef is browned, add tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable stock, mushrooms, basil, salt& 1/4 tsp pepper.
6. Just as sauce begins to bubble, add the bay leaves, then simmer 1& 1/2 hours.
