Ingredients

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 large cans diced tomatoes (1 lb. 12 oz.)
2 (14 oz.) cans tomato sauce
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1/2 tsp. ground pepper (freshly ground)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. olive oil

Directions

1

In a heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and crumble the beef into it.
2

Brown the meat lightly. (Break it up and separate the pieces.) Add the onion as the meat cooks.
3

When the meat is brown and onions transparent, pour off the fat and transfer to a large saucepan (not an iron pot, they give tomatoes an unpleasant taste). With the saucepan over low heat, add the tomato products and bring to a simmer.
4

Add the rest of the ingredients except for the sugar and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
