In a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat until no longer pink.


Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain.


Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce and paste, mushrooms, water, salt, sugar, basil, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

This is the first dinner that I made using my new Wolfgang Puck Bistro Elite Collection Pots and Pans I received for Christmas from my dad.  I LOVE this collection and I would HIGHLY recommend them!! Thanks Dad!
