Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 14- ounce cans no salt added diced tomatoes with juice
  • 2 6- ounce cans no salt added tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups no salt added vegetable stock
  • ½ cup fresh basil chopped

Instructions
 

  • To a Dutch oven  or other heavy pot, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until the meat browns completely, and there is no pink left. Drain the meat, and set aside.
  • To the Dutch oven (no need to wash after cooking the meat), add the olive oil and begin by sautéing the garlic and onion over low heat. 5 to 6 minutes, until they begin to soften.
  • Add the meat back to the pot, along with the cans of tomatoes with the juice, the tomato paste, the balsamic vinegar, the vegetable stock, the Italian seasoning, and the basil. Stir until all ingredients are mixed and simmer in low heat for 45 minutes until the sauce becomes thick and rich!
  • Taste, and add more seasoning or garlic if desired. Serve the meat sauce hot with fresh pasta or use as a dipping sauce for salt-free garlic bread!
