directions
- Using non-stick pan, fry beef until well done.
- I cook them so that there are fairly large "chunks" of beef (smaller than meatballs).
- Rinse beef under hot tap water in colander and place aside.
- In 6-8 quart stock pan, saute onions, bell peppers, shallots& mushrooms in beef stock until soft and clear.
- Add remaining spices to stock pan, cooking over medium heat.
- Bring to boil and then immediately add beef.
- Add tomatoes and other tomato items to stock pan.
- Bring to a boil and then immediately turn heat to Low.
- Simmer for 30- 45 minutes.
- Prepare spaghetti noodles according to pkg directions.
- Serve immediately.
- Optional: Serve with grated fresh Parmesan Cheese.
- Enjoy!
