Notes

To make it healthier, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. For added flavor, sprinkle red pepper flakes into the sauce while it simmers. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and consider topping with toasted breadcrumbs for extra crunch!
