  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown beef until cooked; drain any fat. Remove beef from skillet and sauté onions and garlic until onions are translucent.
  • Transfer onions and beef to a slow cooker and pour in stewed tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, seasonings, sugar and beef bouillon cubes. Stir to mix well and season with salt and black pepper. Cook on low for 6 hours.
  • Add pasta, red wine and cheeses; stir to combine. Cook on high for 30 minutes to melt the cheese. Mix in the spinach and stir to combine. Cook an additional 5 minutes to wilt the spinach. Serve warm.
Here’s a really simple meal to create that is kid friendly as well. It has ground beef, pasta, tons of flavor, cheese and spinach.
