Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 lb. Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 lb. Ground Italian Sausage I used mild
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper diced
  • 1/2 c Crimini Mushrooms baby bella, diced
  • 1/4 c Carrots shredded
  • 1 Clove Garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp. Tomato Paste
  • 3 c Marinara can use a jar sauce if preferred
  • 3 c Finely Chopped Tomatoes such as Pomi
  • 1 tbsp. Italian Seasoning
  • 1.5 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Granulated Sugar

Instructions

  • Heat skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, ground beef, and ground Italian sausage. Crumble and brown the meat until cooked through.
  • Add the chopped vegetables to the cooked meat and sauté together until the vegetables begin to soften, about 15 minutes.
  • Next, add the seasonings to the meat and veggies.
  • Add the tomato paste, marinara, and chopped tomatoes and mix to combine. Cover with lid and simmer on low heat for at least 1 hour, stir occasionally.
  • Serve over pasta. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano if desired.

Notes

*Cooks Note: If you like, you can drain the drippings after the meat is cooked. Personally, I do not. The fat drippings are minimal and enhance the flavor of the sauce.
