Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 28 oz can of no-salt added diced tomatoes
  • 1 14.5 oz can no-salt added tomato sauce
  • 1 6 oz can of no-salt added tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbs fresh oregano
  • 1 tbs fresh basil
  • 1 tbs Italian seasoning salt free
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add ground beef to a medium pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir and brown the meat until it's about half done, then add the onions and garlic and continue to stir until meat is browned. (using lean ground beef there will be very little fat to drain. You can leave it in or drain if you wish)
  • Add all remaining ingredients to the pot and stir over medium heat until everything is well incorporated.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve over cooked pasta.

Notes

Want to go meatless? Simply leave out the meat and start by sautéing the onion over a low flame for about 5 minutes or until just becoming translucent. Add garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute.  Then continue at step 2.
