Tips and Warnings

  • Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
  • Freeze: Freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
  • I like to use a combo of ground beef and more lean turkey for balanced flavor and health. You can do either or.
  • If you use beef only, I recommend to drain the fat.
  • Diced tomatoes will work but sauce will be more chunky and more watery.
  • Crushed or strained tomatoes will work as well.
