| 1. Using medium high heat preheat a large skillet that has been sprayed well with cooking spray or drizzled with enough olive oil to keep food from sticking. | 2. Add the chopped onion, carrots and celery to the hot pan and sauté until the carrots, celery and onions become tender and the onions become translucent, about 8 minutes. | 3. Add the meat and stir continuously to break up any large chunks. | 4. Once the meat is browned drain all fat and add sauce. Reduce heat to low and cook until the sauce thickens. | 5. Add salt and pepper to taste. | 6. This is great over pasta or in any recipe calling for spaghetti sauce. Wonderful garnished with grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley and/or chopped basil. | 7. Note: For a little extra richness, add a pat of butter to your cooked pasta or directly to the sauce! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
