I'm currently living off this at uni, I make up a big batch and freeze what I don't use. Lasts about a fortnight with just me eating. It's my mum's recipe and the only thing I never mess up.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cooking oil (i use corn)
2 onions (depends how much onion you have or want to use but 2 is the max)
750 g beef mince
470 g canned tomatoes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon basil (i normally add a lot more herbs, about double the stated amount)
salt and pepper (to taste)
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large shallow frying pan, add peeled and chopped onions, saute gently until onions tender. Add mince and brown over a high heat, mash well to remove lumps.
2. Add undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Mash tomatoes well.
3. Stir over a medium heat until all ingredients combined. Add water and mix.
4. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer gently uncovered for 2 hours.
5. Serve onto spaghetti (500g for 6 people).
