Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 lb ground sirloin
• 1 (16 ounce) can tomato juice
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• 1 -2 habanero pepper
• 1 lb penne or 1 lb elbow macaroni or 1 lb twist pasta
• 1 small green pepper
• 2 tablespoons garlic
• salt
• pepper
• 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
• brown sugar
• 1 small onion

Recipe

• 1 in large skillet, brown the ground sirloin for five minutes. when the meat starts to brown, add finely chopped onion, garlic, and peppers, worchestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
• 2 when meat is browned and other ingredients tender, mix the tomato paste and chopped tomato into these ingredients and let cook another 10 minutes on medium heat.
• 3 pour contents of skillet into large pot, pour your pasta on top, then cover all ingredients with tomato juice. add brown sugar to taste, just enough for a slight sweet flavor.
• 4 put a lid on the pot and keep heat on medium, for 15 minutes or until it starts to thicken, then turn down heat to low for another 5- 10 minutes.
• 5 note: check your pasta from time to time, to make sure it is not quite done--if it overcooks, it will become gummy.
• 6 also, by pouring the tomato juice onto the meat and pasta, the juice cooks into the pasta, making it tastier. i do this instead of cooking the pasta in water and then draining.
• 7 serve with crusty bread and salad.
