Step 5: Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6: Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Chef's Tip: Let the sauce simmer for at least 20 minutes to develop rich flavors. Add a pinch of sugar to balance acidity if needed.

Save by using Use the Eye Round ground into burger meat or ask for it to be ground at the meat counter for a lean, affordable sauce base. and Serve with Garlic bread and a simple side salad.
