START WITH GOOD INGREDIENTS
I love to cook and I try to use the best ingredients that are available to me. This doesn’t mean that the ingredients are expensive. It just means that I use fresh produce and items like these San Marzano tomatoes. They have been rated some of the best by chefs because of how they are grown and taste. These plum tomatoes have less seeds and are less acidic. Frequently my grocery store has them on BOGO – buy-one-get-one free, so I stock up!
Initially, when I created this recipe it was as a way to use leftover tomato sauce from spaghetti and meatballs. If you ever have leftover sauce, this is a great way to use it for another meal.
To Make this Recipe You’Il Need the following ingredients:
Ground beef
