Poor Man's Bolognese

Not quite a bolognese, but it's delicious! Also, I prefer sausage to ground beef and the addition of the fennel seeds gives the meat a taste somewhat like Italian sausage

1/2 lb. ground beef
2 small onions
1 cup frozen peas
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 small can tomato sauce
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1tsp. fennel seeds
3 cloves garlic, chopped (or garlic powder to taste)
1 tbsp. italian seasoning
1/2 cup parmesan
1 - 2 tsp hot red peppers
pepper to taste

Cook the ground beef in a large pan with tall sides. Drain the liquid. Cook the onions and garlic until the onions are soft with the ground beef. Add the stewed tomatoes, cook for several minutes. Add tomato sauce, fennel seeds, red peppers and italian seasoning. Once hot, add the heavy whipping cream and the parmesan cheese. Continue cooking until smooth and hot.

Eat with any pasta - I choose whole wheat Penne!
