Ingredients
1-2lb ground beef
4 - 28 oz can tomato (various varieties work. I prefer 2 crushed and 2 whole and break the whole tomatoes apart with my hands but like go ahead and use 2 crushed and 2 diced)
Veggies of choice use none if you want. Peppers and mushrooms work great but you don’t need to add anything.
