Its a great recipe but bloody long winded.Take ideas from his and make it a bit simpler.
Fry the beef in batches, use a passata (esp the ones with herbs) instead of tinned toms and put some fried pancetta in it. Also dice up carrots and mushrooms realllllly small. Add a couple of stock cubes (or real stock) and a few gravy granules.
Simmer for about 4 hrs.
Lovely.

ETA: do it the night before as it improves it no end.

bloody hell.
we were goign for something simple - ie spag bol - as we had a friend or two coming over after work one evening.
I just didn't want to throw in a dolmio sauce! 4 or 8 hour simmers are a little more than i expected!!!!
Just use a sauce in a jar BUT add some fresh things too like mushrooms, onion! Why make a simple dish complicated? Garlic bread on side...sorted!!we were goign for something simple - ie spag bol - as we had a friend or two coming over after work one evening.

As Gordon Ramsey would say (rapidly):
'Tin of minced beef and onions, yes?
Tin of chopped plum tomatoes, done.
Splash of red wine, dash of Worcester Sauce, right?
Put the spaghetti in boiling water for 10 minutes, like that.
When it's all done, put the spaghetti on the plate, yes?
Then put the mince next to it like that.
Done, yes?'
No Dolmio

mmmm I've got some leftover in the fridge from yesterday; can't wait for dinner now
Here's mine
- Chop an onion, and simmer until it goes white
- add lean mince and brown it, season with plenty of black pepper and any other spices you fancy
- add a few cloves of chopped or pressed garlic
- add a tube of tomato puree until the meat is a nice red colour
- add some chopped peperonni, and some chopped veg if you like (brocolli is nice)
- add some chopped red or green chilli (optional but I like it hot)
- add a tin of chopped tomatoes
- simmer for at least an hour, longer if possible
I make one every week and it takes no more than half an hour, and is very easy. The longer you can leave it to simmer the more flavour you get in the meat.
