Spicy Spaghetti Bolognese

I kinda messed around for years before landing on this spaghetti Bolognese with a little chilli powder kick. Good for freezing too. Let me know what you think, or better still - if you figure out a way to make this better!

Ingredient

Cooking time :

1hr

500 g

Beef Steak Mince

Red Bell Pepper

3-4

Small Onions (chopped finely)

2 Cans

Chopped Tomatoes

150 g

Button Mushrooms (chunky chopped)

2 tsp

hot chilli powder

2 cloves

fresh garlic (crushed)

2 tsp

tomato paste/puree

75 g

Spaghetti per person

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Fry the chopped onion and red pepper over a medium heat with a little olive oil for about 10 minutes.

* Step 2

Add crushed garlic and allow to simmer for a further 3-4 minutes.

* Step 3

Add two cans of chopped tomatoes and raise the heat a little. Fill one can halfway with water and add this to the mix also.

* Step 4

Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of chilli powder and one teaspoon of white granulated sugar. The sugar helps to take away some of the acid from the tinned tomatoes.

* Step 5

While the sauce still has a lot of liquid, add the quartered mushroom and cook for a further 5 minutes.

* Step 6

Break up and stir in the minced beef, keeping a can of water handy in case the mixture becomes too thick. Cover and cook for 30 mins on a medium heat. If the sauce needs thickening, remove the cover.
