This makes a great topper for rice, noodles or mashed potatoes. I love a recipe that’s so versatile.

Ingredients:

4 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 1/2 lb. lean beef, cut into 1/2 in pieces
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 C of red wine
2 (28 oz.) cans tomatoes, chopped
4 bay leaves
1/8 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:

1. Place the oil in a saucepan and heat up over medium heat.
2. When the oil is hot, stir in the onions and cook for a couple of minutes until soft.
3. Stir in the beef and stirring often cook 5 minutes or until no longer pink.
4. Add in the garlic and stirring constantly cook for 1 minute.
5. Pour in the wine and simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Stir in the tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper.
7. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer 30 minutes.
8. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Transfer to freezer containers or freezer baggies and freeze for up to 6 months.
To reheat, defrost in the refrigerator and heat on low in a saucepan until heated through.
