Ground beef and tomatoes are combined simply, spiced, and cooked until thick and delicious! You may spoon it over your preferred pizza crust, serve it over pasta, or use it in lasagna.

A Filling Multipurpose Sauce

This dish just requires one pot and is quite flavorful!

This sauce is inexpensive and a fantastic way to stretch a pound of ground beef to feed a large number of people. To stretch it even further, add more vegetables or tomatoes!

This recipe is essentially straightforward yet tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. Just brown the beef and simmer till thick and delicious.

If at all possible, double the recipe because this sauce stores well and gets even better the next day.

Components & Alterations

This sauce is not only flavorful and rich but it can also be modified by adding any leftover vegetables from the fridge or pantry.

• Since they form the foundation of the sauce, I like to indulge and use high-quality canned tomatoes, however any canned tomatoes would work nicely in this recipe. San Marzano tomatoes have a strong, vivid flavor, so I think they’re worth the additional money or two.
• Don’t be scared to substitute ground turkey or even Italian sausage for the beef in the recipe.
• No peppers, bell? Use spinach, zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms that have been cut or shredded!
• If you have any fresh herbs on hand, they make a nice accent. Fresh herbs should be added after the sauce has been boiled, right before serving, or you can stir in a cube of pesto to preserve their essence.
• Additionally, you may top pappardelle pasta with meat sauce and layer it over lasagna, eggplant parmesan, or even sloppy joes!

Recipe for Meat Sauce

There are a few standard processes that every time you make the meat sauce.

1. Beef, onions, and garlic are browned.
2. The other ingredients should be added. Cover the pot and boil for an hour.
3. Once the sauce has thickened, remove the lid and simmer for a further 15 minutes.

Before serving, don’t forget to remove the bay leaves! Add additional fresh herbs, such as basil and parsley, just before serving if you have some.

How to Keep Meat Sauce Fresh

If it is covered, homemade meat sauce can keep for approximately a week in the fridge. To revive the flavors, simply reheat on the burner and add a little more garlic!

Ladle the beef sauce into sealed bags, then lay them flat to freeze. To maximize freezer space after freezing, stack the items upright. In the freezer, the homemade sauce should last for about three months.
