This will bring any bottled pasta sauce to life! and is best if made 1-2 days in advance and refrigerated to ripen the flavors --- for ease I have listed canned mushrooms I strongly suggest to go the extra step and use sauteed fresh mushrooms in place of the canned -- the success of this recipe will highly depend on the quality of bottled pasta sauce that you use so use a good quality brand such as Classico etc.

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional or adjust to heat level)
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)
2 (26 ounce) jars marinara sauce (or use a meatless pasta sauce)
2 teaspoons salt (a good tomato sauce needs lots of salt to bring out the flavor)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium pot brown the ground beef with onion until no longer pink; drain all fat.
  • Add in the garlic, chili flakes and drained mushrooms; cook stirring until the meat is browned (about 12 minutes, for best flavor the meat needs to be lightly browned).
  • Mix in the Parmesan cheese (if using) then pasta sauce; bring to a simmer stirring over medium heat.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 45 to 60 minutes or even longer, stirring occasionally.
  • Season with salt, pepper and sugar (if using) about halfway through cooking.

This sauce is okay, but it's not my favorite. I think it needs more seasoning.

I'm not a fan of the flavor of this sauce. It's a bit too sweet for my taste.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer simpler recipes that don't require a lot of ingredients or steps.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This sauce is a bit too thin for my liking. I would recommend simmering it for a longer period of time to thicken it up.

I found this sauce to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and oregano, and it was much better.

This sauce is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less red pepper flakes next time.
