Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine while simmering. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the hamburger for a leaner option. If you prefer a vegetarian version, try using lentils or a meat substitute in place of the meats. Adding a bit of crushed red pepper can enhance the heat without overpowering the dish.
