Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup small diced yellow onions
1 teaspoon Steak Seasoning Recipe >>
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 egg, slightly beaten
1½ pounds lean ground beef
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained very well, big pieces chopped
6 large bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
Procedure:
In a small saute pan, heat the bacon fat or oil over medium heat. Add onions, Steak Seasoning, salt, sugar and pepper and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, basil, oregano and thyme and cook 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove mixture from the heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
