Directions:
Using a large pot, fry the onions, celery and carrot together with the canola oil on medium high heat until vegetables begin to soften. If using mushrooms add with the onion, celery and carrot base.
Add the ground beef and season with black pepper. Cook until meat is browned and beginning to separate into small pieces. Note: Canned brown lentils, drained and rinsed, may be substituted for meat but should be added later with the canned tomatoes.
Add the tomato paste and garlic and stir to mix through. If using wine add at this time and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated from the pot.
Add the canned tomatoes and chilli flakes. Add either sugar and cinnamon (Option 1) or balsamic vinegar and dried herbs (Option 2). Turn heat down to low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes or longer until a thick consistency is achieved. Stir occasionally.
If doing option 2, add the milk after simmering. Stir through and simmer for another 10 minutes.
