Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Italian Meat Sauce.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious dish, grab a large skillet and warm up some olive oil over medium-high heat.

   Break it into small pieces as you add it to the skillet, cooking and stirring until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly, which will take around five to seven minutes.

   Don’t forget to season it with a pinch of salt! Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently for an hour, stirring occasionally to keep everything well combined.
