About Tomato sauce with ground meat

Tomato Sauce with Ground Meat is a savory and flavorful dish commonly associated with Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. This comforting sauce is typically made by simmering crushed or diced tomatoes with ground beef or pork, garlic, onions, olive oil, and aromatic herbs such as basil, oregano, and thyme. Some variations may include carrots, celery, or peppers for added texture and nutrients. Rich in protein from the meat and vitamins like lycopene from the tomatoes, the sauce offers a nutritious profile when paired with whole grains like pasta or rice. However, its healthiness largely depends on preparation—using lean meat and minimal added fats or sugars can make it a heart-smart option. Higher-fat cuts and excessive oils may increase calories and saturated fats. Tomato Sauce with Ground Meat is versatile, hearty, and a cornerstone of many cuisines enjoyed worldwide.
