1 shallot
1 med onion chopped
1 rib celery
1 carrot chopped or grated
1/2 zucchini grated
1 lb ground beef    you can use ground chicken or turkey
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 clove garlic chopped
6 mushrooms sliced
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil   I use fresh herbs but feel free to use dried
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp of fresh chilies or dried is fine   leave out if you don't like spice
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 can of tomatoes ( large)
1 can of tomato puree or crushed
1/2 a red or yellow or green pepper  chopped
You will see in a lot of my recipes I grate the veggies up and that is because of my 2 picky kids

add beef and fry it for 10-15 mins
