Directions:
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot (such as a Dutch oven), heat olive oil over medium heat add onion until tender then add garlic saute for about a minute or 2 then add the ground beef and cook over medium heat, stirring as necessary, until cooked through. Using a spoon, spoon of most of the fat/liquid in the pot, and then continue cooking the ground beef to brown nicely.

Add all the remaining ingredients stir well and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 2 hours, stirring regularly and more frequently as the mixture starts to thicken. (*Important to watch closely and stir often as sauce thickens, as the sauce/meat can scorch if it sits on the bottom of the pan in the thicker sauce.) Cook sauce until desired thickness reached.

Serve over any pasta and add fresh parsley and plenty of grated cheese.
