You'll need: Either a pack of Italian sausage (I like it in the casing) or 1/2 lb ground beef, 1 can or jar spaghetti sauce of your choice, stock, 1onion, 1 bell pepper, white rice, olive oil, butter, basil, oregano, nutmeg, pepper, kosher salt.
First, heat up a couple pats of butter and a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high heat.
Then, add onion and bell pepper, rough chopped. I didn't add garlic, because I feel like every recipe has garlic. I love garlic. But don't wear it out.
Then, cut the sausage casings and form small meatballs. Or, you can use ground beef and add a large handful of Italian breadcrumbs and one egg. Once they're in the pot, add about a tsp pepper and 2 tsp kosher salt.
Wait until they're brown, then add a tsp nutmeg, and a small palmful of basil and oregano, each. Red pepper flakes, if you like.
Add half a box of stock, (I like kitchen basics low-sodium veg stock.) and a can of spaghetti sauce. Then, a cup to a cup and a half of white rice.
Simmer 10 minutes covered, 10 minutes uncoverd, and then add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with cheese on top! I like asiagio.
Mmmm.
