Sizzling Start: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, embark on this culinary journey by stirring together the extra lean beef, fresh mushrooms, green pepper, dried basil, oregano, and a hint of garlic powder. Let this aromatic symphony cook, covered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The kitchen is about to be filled with irresistible scents, so get ready for the feast for the senses! 😌🍄
-
Tomato Tango: Now, it’s time to introduce the stars of the show – the whole tomatoes with their reserved juice, tomato sauce, onion soup mix, and a touch of sugar. Bring this delightful medley to a bubbling boil, and then gracefully reduce the heat to a simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, or until the beef is thoroughly cooked. Your kitchen is turning into a culinary haven! 🍅🍲
-
Pasta Perfection: While the flavors meld and mingle, let’s not forget the pasta! Cook the ziti according to the package directions – al dente, of course. Once perfectly cooked, drain the pasta, and get ready to weave it into our culinary tapestry. 🍝🔥

Marriage of Flavors: Time to bring everything together in a gastronomic union! Toss the hot ziti with half of the delectable sauce, ensuring each pasta strand is lovingly coated. Then, with an artist’s touch, spoon the remaining sauce generously on top, creating a symphony of colors and flavors. Our canvas is nearly complete! 🎨✨
