Notes

Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef for a lighter option. Adding a splash of white wine while simmering enhances flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat with a little added liquid if needed. Consider adding cherry tomatoes or other vegetables for extra nutrition and flavor!
