Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Combine tomato paste & water In a large-ish pot, stir over medium high heat until tomato paste is dissolved (about 2-3 mins).
Step #2 Saute the onion & garlic in the olive oil in a separate skillet over medium high heat(can also add green bell pepper & mushrooms, if desired).
Step #3 Saute until onion is translucent & dump into the pot.
Step #4 Add the Italian seasoning, salt, cayenne, sugar & pepper.
Step #5 Reduce heat & let simmer 2 hrs, stirring every 15 mins (but you can never stir it too much).
Step #6 Brown the ground beef in a skillet, then add to the pot.
Step #7 Simmer another hr.
Step #8 My mother-in-law likes to add a little extra olive oil sometimes when it is cooking.
Step #9 Also, taste it often & adjust seasonings.
Step #10 If it gets too thick, add more water.
Step #11 If it is too thin, add more tomato paste.
