Notes

For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef in batches to avoid steaming and ensure a nice caramelization. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the tomatoes. Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving, and for a touch of freshness, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil.
