Sometimes, you just need comfort food. And what is more comforting than a thick tomato meat sauce over polenta, or Cowboy Style Beef Ragout?
This recipe adapted from Cooking Light is reminiscent of Sloppy Joe’s, but is a bit more grown up.
I made a batch of this for my husband to thaw and eat on nights that I work late. Just heat and serve over polenta or egg noodles.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound 90% lean ground sirloin

- 3 sliced green onions, white and green parts divided
