Homestyle Meat Sauce

HOMESTYLE MEAT SAUCE
PRINTER HAPPY VERSION >  >  >  >  >  >  >  >  >  >

This Sauce might be Gluten Free, but it is no where close to flavor free!
Perfect amount of spice wrapped around the zing of fresh tomatoes! Make life easier and double the meat when you are browning it and after you drain it -- tag and bag half for later in the week :)

INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds ground beef
4 tablespoons homestead seasonings Burger Blend
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 (15-ounce) cans tomatoes diced
2 (15-ounce) cans tomatoes pureed
1 cup water cold
1 tablespoon basil
1/2 tablespoon oregano
Servings 12
Prep Time: :15
Cook Time: :25
Yield: 10-12

 

INSTRUCTIONS:
 In a large skillet brown ground beef, breaking it apart as you go. Cook all the way through and then drain well ( I even rinse the meat sometimes to keep this recipe extra lean)

Add in HOMESTEAD SEASONINGS BURGER BLEND, mix into the meat really well and then set aside.
In a 2nd large skillet saute' onions and garlic in olive oil until tender.... about 5-7 minutes, or until onions begin to become transparent.  While the onions and garlic are cooking-- drain all the fluid out of all four of the cans of tomatoes and then blend just two of the cans of tomatoes in the blender or food processor until they are well processed. This will give your sauce a nice body without making it "too tomatoey" as my daughter calls it.

Once the onions and garlic are tender add the browned beef into the pan and then the diced tomatoes, blended tomatoes, and spices. Stir everything adding the water very last.... sometimes I find that I don't need it, and its easier to leave it out. Heat and stir the sauce until it begins to boil then the reduce temperature and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over Noodles or Pasta.... Enjoy!!

HEADS UP FOLKS *In these pictures I choose to use ground beef instead of the steak strips* Usually I like to plan my menus for the week so that I can make this as a 2nd day  DOUBLE DUTY RECIPE. I like to make the Homestead Seasonings Pan Seared Steaks Recipe earlier in the week then cut-up the left over steaks and use them for this recipe! Saves me time and money :)
