olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is healthier.

Preheat an 11-inch sauté pan over medium heat.

Add 1.25 pounds of ground beef to the pan and mash it up until browned.

Add 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped, and sauté until translucent.

Grate 4 large garlic cloves and add them to the pan, cooking until fragrant.

Add 0.5 small green pepper, finely chopped, and sauté.

Stir in 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, and freshly ground black pepper.

Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons of tomato paste, mixing well.

Dissolve 1 teaspoon auju base and 1 beef bouillon cube in 4 cups of water, adding it gradually to the pan while stirring.

Add 2 large tomatoes, seeded, peeled, and chopped, to the mixture along with 2 bay leaves.

Cover the pan and let the sauce simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
