Ingredients
1kg lean minced beefThree tins chopped tomatoesTwo small tins of tomato pureeTwo onionsThree peppersFour tbsp olive oilHerbs - recommend oregano and basilSalt and pepper
Directions
Finely chop the onion and chop the pepper. Gently fry these in the olive oil until the onions are golden.

Meanwhile put the block of mince without any fat in another pan to brown over a medium heat. Coarsely break this up while it is cooking so you get nice browned lumps of meat.

When the mince is half done add the tinned tomatoes and tomato puree and heat through before adding the peppers, onions and the oil they were cooking in.

Add seasoning and herbs and simmer for 20 minutes.

You can then use this as a base for pasta dishes and cottage pie, add kidney beans and chilli powder and serve with rice for chilli con carne and while you're family is carbing it up have on its own with a salad.
