By slow-cooking the sauce for at least 6 hours, the tomato paste and beef meld together creating a depth of flavor that you can't achieve with a quick (30-minute) sauce. The combination of lean ground beef with diced tomatoes and tomato sauce provides both nutrition and great taste in one pot. This recipe is perfect if you're feeding a crowd, hosting a dinner party, or are meal prepping for your weekly lunches. While it takes a bit more time than other spaghetti sauce recipes, the end result is worth the wait.

3.Cover the pot and let the sauce simmer on low for at least 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
