This is one of those all-day spaghetti sauces that simmers beef, tomato, and herbs together for hours. It is very good and very nutritious. Ingredients can be increased or lessened to your taste. Freeze the remainder of the sauce in plastic bags in serving sizes. Tastes better with each heating!

5 tablespoons Italian seasoning

Brown beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink; cut up any remaining chunks of beef and reserve.
