- I find that the sauce has a deeper flavour if you brown the ground beef well, as opposed to just cooking it until no longer pink.
- Once the mince is cooked, keep stirring it until it turns into a nice light brown colour and it's really dry. Do keep stirring it, as it could stick to the pan.
- There is no need to add water or any other liquid to the sauce, the chopped tomatoes have enough liquid to them - cook the sauce until the tomatoes are really mushy and the sauce comes together nicely.
