Trifecta Tomato Beef Sauce

If good things come in small packages, someone get me a small package for this sauce!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup olive oil from jar of sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 large onion, coarsely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 (28 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Italian seasoning to taste
  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

1. Cook beef in a large skillet over medium heat until crumbly and no longer pink. Drain excess juices and set aside.

2. Heat olive oil in the same pan over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent.

3. Stir in diced and sun-dried tomatoes, and the beef; season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes until sun-dried tomatoes have softened.

4. Before serving, garnish with cherry tomatoes.
