Family dinners are often the source of sublime memories and people in the UK love to spend time sitting around the dinner table, dining and chatting four hours at a time. Creating the perfect family dinner with Spaghetti Bolognese provides an opportunity for families to create new memories while dining on a scrumptious meal.

Ingredients:

1 cup Heinz catsup
1 pound ground beef
½ cup beef stock
¼ cup of diced onion
¼ cup of diced celery
¼ cup diced carrots
2 Tbsp. diced garlic
1 bay leaf
1 cup blended tomatoes
1 tsp. cracked black pepper
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. oregano
½ tsp. sage
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup fresh parmesan cheese

Directions:

In a large pan, brown the ground beef until cooked completely through. Set the meat aside in a bowl and toss the celery, garlic, carrots, and onions into the pan with the meat drippings. Cook the vegetables and garlic in the beef drippings and then re-add the ground beef to the pan. Add a bay leaf, Heinz, tomatoes, sage, oregano, salt, and cracked black pepper to the mix and cook at a medium heat for ten minutes. Stir in the beef stock and cook for another five minutes. At this time, the colour of the meat, herb, and vegetable mixture should be a rich and hearty colour and the flavor will be filling the room.

To serve, spoon the Bolognese sauce over a plate of freshly-cooked spaghetti noodles, top with grated fresh parmesan cheese, and sprinkle fresh, chopped parsley over the top for added colour and flavor.
This meal is a hearty meal that families enjoy. Serving the meal with a glass of red wine and thick, warm crusted bread will help to enhance the full bodied taste of the inviting dinner.
