INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 md yellow onion, chopped
15 oz can peeled tomatoes
:          or
3 md fresh peeled plus
1/2 c  water
1/2 md bell pepper
:          (any color), chopped
1/2 c  sliced mushrooms
:          (canned is fine)
2 cl garlic, minced
1 ts garlic powder
1 ts oregano
1 ts basil
1 ts rosemary
1/2 ts thyme
:          X-tra Hot Sauce to taste
:          fresh ground black pepper
:          grated Parmesan
:          or
:          Romano cheese
Brown the ground beef with the onions in a medium to large skillet (it
should have a lid; alternatively, a large covered saucepan may be
used). Drain the fat.  Chop the tomatoes into bite-size pieces (do
not drain) and add to the beef.  Add the mushrooms, celery, pepper
and garlic. Add herbs, crushing first, making sure the rosemary
needles are well broken-up. Add a dollop (just enough for flavor) of
olive oil, grind some pepper on top to taste.  Finally, add the hot
sauce to taste, remembering that the sauce simmers down and it will
concentrate the hot stuff! Cook on medium heat for 5-10 minutes
uncovered, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Uncover, and reduce sauce until it is the desired consistency. Serve
over pasta with grated cheese and crusty bread. Heather Pierce Walt MM

“We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal. #J.I. Packer”
