Notes
- Just brown the burger until it isn't pink anymore, this will give you a good end product that isn't overcooked.
- Cut the onions and garlic small so that the flavor really encorporates into the sauce.
- Use the best quality tomatoes and paste you can find, this is where most of the flavor in the sauce originates from!
- The longer you simmer the sauce, the thicker it will become. If it is more thick than you prefer, add some broth or water to thin it back down.
