The Best Meat Sauce Ever

1. Saute onions and bell pepper in olive oil in a large saucepan (I use a stock pot to avoid any spillage).

2. Add ground beef. Cover in salt and pepper, mix, and cover again in salt and pepper.

3. Cover surface in chili powder, mix and repeat. Cover surface in paprika, mix and repeat.

4. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well, and add a little water if necessary (I usually don’t need to).

5. Simmer on medium-low heat for a least an hour, stirring occasionally. Serve with the same wine you put in the sauce, over any hearty pasta.

NOTE: Since “palm full” is not a unit here and you can’t just specify an ingredient without a unit, I’m guesstimating how much chili powder, paprika, basil, and oregano to use. Just cover the surface and stir for the first two, and for the second two, you want about a palm full.
