Ingredients
  • Olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 onion

  • I medium zucchini
  • 4-5 medium sized mushrooms
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Dried oregano
  • Dried basil

Directions
  1. Chop onions, garlic and sweet peppers. Separately, chop zucchini and mushrooms.
  2. Add oil to a large skillet or Dutch oven. Heat over medium-high heat.
  3. Add ground beef and brown. Put in bay leaf.
  4. Add onions and garlic. Stir to combine and cook a bit. Add peppers and stir. Cook until onions and peppers are wilted. Add canned tomatoes and bring to a boil.
  5. Add oregano, basil, thyme, Italian herbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Amounts vary. I use a lot of basil, thyme, oregano and Italian herbs (1 - 2 tbs?). I use less of the garlic powder and add salt/pepper to taste.
