Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pounds Ground beef
- 3 cups Onion, finely chopped
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 cans Canned diced tomatoes (28 oz each)
- 3 cans Tomato paste (6 oz each)
- 3 cups Beef broth
- 6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 3 teaspoons Paprika
- 3 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm up.
Add the chopped onions and sauté for 3–4 minutes until they are softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink. This should take about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix well to combine.
Add Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After cooking, allow the mixture to cool completely.
Divide the beef mixture into freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags in portions suitable for your household size.
Label and date each container, then freeze for up to 3 months.
To use, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in a saucepan over medium heat. Add a splash of water or broth if the mixture is too thick during reheating.
