Dad's Meat Sauce

In our house, when Dad's cooking, he makes this mighty meat sauce!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef 
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
1/2 red pepper, diced 
2-3 tsps minced garlic 
1 - 28 oz can diced tomatoes
1 can condensed tomato soup (don't add water)
1/2 - 5.5 oz can tomato paste
1 tsp dry oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 
Salt and pepper to taste
1 carrot

In a skillet heat the oil to medium and add the ground beef. Cook and break up until no pink remains then add the onion and red pepper for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic for 1 minute.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato soup, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, pepper and 1 whole carrot.
Bring to a gentle boil then reduce to low, cover and simmer a couple of hours or until the carrot is tender. 
Serve on top of your favourite pasta with a piece of the cooked carrot.

Makes 4-5 servings
