Gluten-free spaghetti sauce: Master this hearty, flavorful recipe in under an hour. Perfect for a comforting family dinner everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 26 ounce jar good store-bought marinara sauce
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a large pot, add the ground beef, onions, and peppers. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking into small pieces, until the meat is no longer pink, 6-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly for a minute or so.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, and sugar.
- Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the bay leaves and season to taste with salt and pepper before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- When cooking the ground beef, ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to ensure it's fully cooked and safe.
- For a richer flavor, let the sauce simmer for at least 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. I've found that patience here truly pays off with a more complex taste.
