2 roasted red peppers
2 garlic cloves
1 onion
1 jalapeno, optional
500-g lean ground beef
1 tsp dried basil leaves
1 tsp dried oregano leaves
1 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
796-mL can diced tomatoes
213-mL can pizza sauce
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 cups baby spinach, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Coarsely chop roasted peppers. Mince garlic. Finely chop onion. Core and seed jalapeno, then finely chop. Place all in a large saucepan. Crumble in beef. Sprinkle with seasonings. Stir in tomatoes, pizza sauce and Worcestershire.
Bring to a boil, stirring often, over high heat. Then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until meat loses its red colour and sauce thickens slightly, 15 minutes. Spoon over English muffins, if you like. Sprinkle with spinach.
