Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 -2 lb ground beef
• 1/4-1/2 cup ketchup
• 8 ounces tomato paste or 8 ounces tomato sauce
• chili powder
• 1 onions, chopped or 1 onion powder
• italian seasoning
• oregano
• 1/4-1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Recipe

• 1 brown beef and onion; if using onion powder, add salt to taste.
• 2 add combination of ketchup, paste, and sauce; the amount used will depend on how much meat. use more ketchup for a sweeter taste.
• 3 add chili powder and seasonings. i usually "dust" the meat with the chili powder twice (and yes, this will make it mild, but i have children that won't eat it if i make it spicier) and the italian seasoning once with a few dashes of oregano. stir those together and let simmer for a minute or so. taste - add more of the seasonings you want. (if i use closer to two pounds, i usually like more chili powder.).
• 4 after the seasonings are how you want them, add the parmesan cheese.
