High-Protein Beef and Tomato Sauce Delight

1.In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

2.Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3.Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

4.Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet.

5.Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

6.Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

7.Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.

8.Once done, remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

9.Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
