Deniz's Famous Old School Meat Sauce Recipe

Go Italian tonight. Enjoy some delicious spaghetti squash with this fantastic meat sauce, compliments of our very own Deniz!

Deniz's Famous Old School Meat Sauce Recipe

2 lbs of ground beef/bison
1 medium size brown or yellow onion
Finely chopped garlic to taste- (i believe the miracles of garlic, hence I use 8-10 cloves of garlic.)
2 cups of tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
black pepper
salt
coconut oil

heat the coconut oil
add onions, cook until soft (very slightly brown)
add the meat
mix/stir on medium heat medium for a minute or until all ingredients are completely mixed (1 min)
add garlic, salt, pepper
mix/stir on medium heat medium for a minute or until all ingredients are completely mixed (1 min)
add the tomatoe sauce/crushed tomatoes
mix/stir on medium heat medium for a minute or until all ingredients are completely mixed (2 min)

bring to medium/low heat
cover
cook for 35-45 min

add the chopped cilantro- this is the secret:)
mix

serve over spaghetti squash (click here to see how to prepare spaghetti squash!)
