Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.

  2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, bell pepper, and grated carrot to the skillet with the cooked beef. Sauté the vegetables until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Stir in the dried oregano, basil, and paprika, combining well with the meat and vegetables to release their fragrant flavors.

  4. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste, stirring to fully incorporate all ingredients.

  5. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good stir to blend the sweetness and seasoning evenly.

  6. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken to your desired consistency.

  7. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving over your favorite cooked pasta.
