Thanks for the idea, Motek! I took out ground beef for dinner tomorrow night and hadn't decided what to do with it. Smile

Although I should check the size of my tomato sauce cans.

This was delicious!

I made it last night, served it in toasted pitas and a fresh veggie salad on the side. DH loved it Very Happy

I filled four pitas and had leftovers to freeze for next time...

This is an old post, but I found it through a search. Just wanted to say that I made this last week and we LOVED it! I'm not usually a fan of meat sauce, but this recipe converted me Very Happy

Thanks, Motek!

The longer you let it simmer (4 to 6h), the better.
