Spaghetti Bolognese Sauce

What You'll Need

-l lb 90/10 Ground Beef (which I used) or ground turkey
-5 Cloves fresh Garlic Minced
-1 Cup Chopped Onions
-1 tsp Italian Seasoning
-2 cups Marinara Sauce (I used Aldi's Grandessa Chunky Style)
-30 Kalamata Olives (optional)
-8oz Sliced fresh Mushrooms (optional)

Step 1
Spray a non-stick pan with your favorite non-stick cooking spray

Step 2

Brown ground beef and onions over medium heat until beef is browned and onions are translucent

Step 3

Drain excess grease off of the beef/onion mixture.  Let the pan you used cool down then put the beef/onion mixture back  into the pan.

Step 4

Add  minced garlic to the beef/onion mixture and cook for 5 minutes (DON'T LET THE GARLIC BURN/BROWN IT WILL MAKE YOUR SAUCE BITTER!!!!!!!)

Step5

Add you marinara sauce and Italian seasoning to the beef/onion.garlic mixture and let it come to a simmer

Step 6

Once the sauce starts to simmer add the sliced kalamata olives and slice mushrooms(if desired)


Once the sauce comes to a simmer turn the heat to low and cook for about 30 mins. Stir the sauce every 10 mins or so to make sure it doesn't stick.
