Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lbs (454 g) ground beef
- 1 large sweet onion
- 1 cup (237 ml) sliced mushrooms
- 5 cloves (2 Tbs) minced garlic
- 2 cans (850 g) tomato sauce
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black ground pepper
- 2 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) red wine
- 1/4 cups (60 ml) fresh basil
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef over medium heat in a Dutch oven or a wide skillet with tall sides.
- Before the beef is finished browning, add the onion and sauté until it turns translucent and begins to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and sauté until they lose most of their moisture and soften.
- Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add tomato sauce, red wine, salt, pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano. Stir to combine.
- Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring often.
- Turn off the burner, stir in the fresh basil, and serve.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, brown the beef in batches to ensure it crisps properly.
- If you don’t have red wine, substitute an equal amount of beef broth.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and frozen for up to 3 months.
