Ingredients:
  • 2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 cup Progresso™ beef-flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)
Instructions:
  • Heat a 5-quart Dutch oven over high heat. Cook beef for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Lower heat to medium, then add onion, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is softened. Add tomato paste and cook for 3 minutes. Mix in crushed tomatoes and broth, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and serve over pasta if desired.
