Instructions:
-
Heat oil in a large skillet: Start by heating oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Brown meat, onion, garlic, and green pepper: Once the oil is hot, add ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced green pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender.
-
Add tomato sauce, paste, water and seasonings: Next, add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, hot water, salt, sugar, oregano, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Heat until bubbling, lower heat and simmer 30 minutes: Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken to your desired consistency.
-
Stir occasionally: Don’t forget to give the sauce an occasional stir to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
It’s okay to let simmer beyond 30 minutes until ready to serve: If you need to let the sauce simmer longer than 30 minutes, that’s perfectly fine! The longer it simmers, the richer the flavors will become.
-
Leftover portions freeze well, thaw and reheat as needed: If you have any leftovers (which is rare because it’s so delicious!), you can freeze them in 2-serving size containers. When ready to enjoy again, simply thaw and reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
