For a deeper flavor, brown the ground beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Feel free to add other vegetables to the sauce, such as diced onions, carrots, or zucchini. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the sauce after simmering. This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Jun 2, 2025I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a hit. I like to add a splash of red wine to the sauce while it simmers.

Apr 10, 2025This sauce is amazing! My family loved it. I added a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
