About Ground beef with tomato sauce and onions

Ground Beef with Tomato Sauce and Onions is a hearty, flavorful dish often associated with comfort food and found in cuisines around the world, including Italian, Latin American, and American traditions. Typically made by sautéing onions and ground beef, it’s simmered with a rich tomato-based sauce that may include herbs like oregano, basil, or garlic for added depth. This dish is often served with pasta, rice, or bread. Nutritionally, ground beef provides protein and essential vitamins like B12 and iron, while the tomato sauce offers a source of antioxidants such as lycopene and vitamins C and K. However, the healthiness of the dish can vary depending on the fat content of the beef and added salt or oil. Using lean ground beef and low-sodium canned tomatoes can help make this dish a more balanced and heart-healthy choice.
