This homemade Meat Sauce is quick to prepare, perfect for busy weeknight meals. Made with ground beef, tomato sauce, onions, and Italian seasonings, it's an ideal pasta topping.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet or pan over medium heat. After the pan has had a minute to heat up, add the ground beef. Cook until the beef is no longer pink.
Once the beef is fully cooked, add the diced onions, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.
Add the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Reduce the heat to low and stir the mixture constantly until it starts to bubble.
Remove the pan from the burner, adjust the salt and pepper to taste, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
This sauce is best stored in an airtight mason jar for up to 6 days in the fridge.
You can make your own Italian seasoning by combining equal parts oregano, basil, onion powder, and thyme.
This is an easy recipe to make in bulk. This recipe makes enough for about 4 people to have a full bowl of spaghetti and meat sauce.
If you have fresh garlic, you can use 3 cloves of freshly minced garlic.
You can sub all or some of the meat for sausage, it's really good with it in it.
