Tips
This makes a lot and freezes well. The vegetables really help to stretch the sauce. I choose to chop them finely so they are a bit more hidden in the sauce - it helps when trying to feed the kiddos. :)
Directions
1.)Brown ground meat in skillet on medium high heat. Once browned rinse with cold water to remove excess grease. Return to skillet and season with salt and pepper.
2.)chop onion, carrots and peppers and add to medium high skillet, cook until done.( I usually add a little water to help with this step)
3.)chop mushrooms and garlic, add to meat mixture, cook until done and combined.( add a little more water if needed)
4.) chop remaining vegetables and place in medium to large pan, add meat mixture to large pan. Cook until vegetables are soft.
(I used a food processor for all chopping)
5.)Add chicken stock and all canned tomatoes, paste and sauce. Cook until it starts to bubble.
6.) Reduce heat to low and add seasonings to taste.
Cover and simmer until it reaches desired consitancy.
