Ingredients
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 tbs oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 10 oz mushrooms a little more or less is fine
Instructions
- Warm oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. While oil is heating, chop the onion, bell pepper and mushrooms and mince the garlic. Add the onion, pepper and mushrooms and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook about 30 seconds, watching not to burn it.
- Add ground beef to the pan, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon or spatula. Season with oregano, salt and pepper. Cook until browned and no pink remains.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
