Next, add the ground beef and break the beef into the pot with the veggies. Cook until beef is browned and cook, about 10 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Drain the beef of excess oil and return back to pot.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and add the wine to the meat sauce and stir. Add the chicken sauce and stir. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Lastly, add the red crushed pepper flakes. Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for 30 minutes stirring occasionally.
