Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_fat'], recipe: partially fry bacon. do not fry completely. drain on paper towels and set aside. saute onions in about 3 tbsp of the bacon fat. set aside. brown ground beef in a large sauce pan until browned, stirring occasionally. my family likes the meat to be finely crumbled for this sauce. if desired remove excess fat from browned beef and discard. add remaining ingredients. cover and cook over very low heat for an hour, stirring occasionally. serve over favorite cooked pasta.

Target recipe: brown beef in a skillet. put into a large stock pot with the tomato sauce, paste, and diced tomatoes. add most of the required amount of all the spices. let simmer on low, stirring enough to keep it from burning to the pan bottom, for an hour or so. taste a spoonful and add the rest of the spices to taste. tips: when you add spices, mix well and simmer 1/2 hour before you taste and add more if necessary. the thicker the metal of your stock pot, the less you have to stir. cover it to prevent splatters, but not airtight (i use a spoon to prop the edge of the lid to let vapor escape.). the longer it simmers, the thicker it gets (yum). the sauce is also very good without the beef.
