Meat Sauce for Spaghetti

This would be good with any type of meat; beef, pork, turkey, chicken, sausage. It so happens a friend brings us lots of home grown, lean ground beef, so that's what I use.

1 1/4 lb lean ground meat
1/2 medium onion, finely minced
1/4 red bell pepper, finely minced
3/4 lb crimini mushrooms, sliced
2-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 - 28 oz can Muir Glen crushed tomatoes
1 Tbl Muir Glen tomato paste
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
2 cups water
1/2 tsp each ground oregano and basil
1/4 tsp ground thyme
4 Tbl fresh minced basil leaves
2 1/2 tsp kosher salt or to taste

Cook ground beef with 1/2 tsp kosher salt until no longer pink
Add onion and bell pepper and another 1/2 tsp salt - cook until onion is translucent
Add mushrooms and 1/2 tsp salt - cook until wilted and there is a light sauce in the bottom
Add garlic, stir and add tomato paste - stir to combine tomato paste thoroughly
Add red wine and stir until blended
Add crushed tomatoes, water, dried herbs, 1 tsp salt and 2 tbl fresh minced basil leaves
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour
Turn off heat and taste to adjust seasonings
Add remaining 2 Tbl minced basil and serve hot over pasta
