Simple. Fast. Delicious. No need to buy premade sauces, just 2 inexpensive cans of tomatoes and meat of your choice and you can have a delicious and simple meat sauce.

I made this using Red Gold Tomatoes, which I am still enjoying. This recipe used a can of petite diced tomatoes and a can of tomato paste.

Ingredients

1 can petite diced tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
1 lb ground meat (beef, veal, pork, turkey, bison, venison…)
1 small onion, chopped finely
1 tbsp fresh garlic
Spices to taste (salt, pepper, oregano, italian seasoning)
Spicy spices to taste (cayenne, tabasco)
EVOO

Directions

In a saucepan or frying pan, heat the EVOO. Add the garlic and sautee for 30 seconds, then add the onions. Cook until golden brown, then add the meat and about half of the spices you plan to use. Make sure the meat is cooked thoroughly, then add the tomatoes and the remainder of the spices. Cook as long as you want, the longer you let it cook the more the flavors will develop, but you can also serve immediately. Enjoy!
