The beef Spaghetti Bolognese sauce recipe just got a lot easier thanks to a jar of prepared sauce. You can cook this comforting meal in about 45 minutes on your camp stove. Traditionally served over pasta, bolognese sauce is also delicious on top of polenta or baked potatoes.
If you don’t have prepared pasta sauce, you can swap it out with two cans of diced tomatoes and a generous pinch of Italian herbs. Or, you can make sauce from scratch and bring it with you to camp.
Have fun with this simple recipe and mix it up to match your tastes. Use a combination of ground beef and pork, throw in a bit of bacon, or use some fresh herbs to give it a pop of flavor. This version has a lot of vegetables but can be scaled down if you prefer to be meatier.
