Note

For a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños with the onions.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if the sauce has thickened too much.

You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef for a lighter version.

If you prefer a chunkier texture, leave the canned tomatoes whole or crush them by hand rather than using puree.
