Francesco Rinaldi Traditional - Original Family Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbl olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup Francesco Rinaldi Traditional Pasta Sauce
- 2 tsp whole-grain mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted (or if you’re really leaning into Italian style, use Ciabatta rolls)
Directions:
- Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook for about 8 minutes, until beef is cooked through and begins to brown. Add onions and peppers and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain fat from skillet.
- Stir in pasta sauce, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Serve on toasted buns and grab the napkins.
