Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 carrots, peeled and diced
– 2 celery stalks, chopped
– 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

– 1 tsp dried basil
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
2. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and chopped celery to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and red wine, if using. Add the dried oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let the sauce simmer for about 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together.
