Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. lean ground beef
  • 5 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 yellow onions chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 8 oz. package mushrooms chopped
  • 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
  • 6-8 cups frozen tomatoes thawed and chopped (juices included) – this equals about 30-40 Roma tomatoes (FROZEN TOMATO SUBSTITUTION: Two 28-oz. cans crushed tomatoes + one 28-oz. can diced tomatoes)
  • 2 6-oz. cans tomato paste
  • 14 oz. can beef broth
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Shaved Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  • Cook the ground beef in an extra-large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Transfer beef to a bowl and drain excess grease from skillet (don’t clean skillet). Heat the olive oil over medium heat in the same skillet and add garlic, onions, green peppers, mushrooms and parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, red wine, brown sugar, Italian seasoning and salt to the skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for a minimum of 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Pour over cooked spaghetti noodles and top with shaved Parmesan cheese.
