Instructions
- Brown the ground beef until it is completely browned in a large pot over medium-high heat. With a slotted spoon, remove the meat from the pot and place it in a bowl. Place aside.
- If there is grease in the pot, throw it out, but don't clean it. Drizzle with olive oil. Once heated, add diced onion and diced bell pepper. Stir for about 1 1/2 minutes, then add garlic. Continue stirring for about one minute more.
- Pour in the wine and allow it to bubble up and reduce for about one and a half minutes. Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and marinara sauce.
- Stir in oregano, thyme, sugar, salt, bay leaves, and crushed red pepper. Stir in cooked ground beef, then combine. Then cover the pot and simmer it for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add the Parmesan rind and minced parsley after an hour. Put the lid back on, stir, and let it simmer for another 30 minutes or so. When ready to serve, throw out the bay leaves. Serve on spaghetti top with minced parsley and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
