Tips and Variations:
- Lean Protein Option: Swap out the ground pork and beef with ground chicken or turkey for a leaner alternative.
- Hidden Vegetables: If you’re cooking for picky eaters, try grating the vegetables very finely so they melt into the sauce.
- Vegetarian-Friendly Version: Make this dish vegetarian by substituting a combination of chopped mushrooms and lentils for the beef. It will still have a deliciously meaty texture.
- Seasonal Vegetable Twist: Feel free to experiment with other veggies; sweet potatoes or butternut squash would make wonderful fall additions.
