Ground Beef Sauce with Bell Pepper and Blue Cheese

 

There are so many different ways to make a ground beef sauce. I almost never make it the same way twice. A while ago, I made one with carrots. Today I cooked a version I once learned while working — this time with bell pepper and blue cheese.
I don’t have a precise recipe because I just went by feeling, but here’s roughly how I made it:

Ground Beef Sauce with Bell Pepper and Blue Cheese

You’ll need:

• Ground beef

• Onion

• Bell pepper

• Salt and pepper

• Water

• Tomato purée

• A little ketchup

• A piece of blue cheese (to crumble in)

How I made it:

1. Brown the onion and ground beef in a pan.

2. Add the chopped bell pepper.

3. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Pour in a bit of water, add tomato purée and a squeeze of ketchup, and let it simmer gently.

5. Finish by adding small crumbles of blue cheese and let it melt into the sauce.

The blue cheese gives a creamy, slightly tangy flavor that goes so well with the sweetness of bell pepper. Easy, quick, and a nice change from the usual meat sauce.

Serving suggestion

This sauce is delicious with pasta, rice, or even mashed potatoes. If you want something fresh on the side, a simple green salad or sliced cucumber works really well to balance the creamy blue cheese flavor.
