BEST EVER SPAGHETTI AND MEAT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large dutch oven pot over medium high heat.
• Add the ground beef and cook until almost completely browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
• Turn the heat to medium and add the onions, garlic, salt and pepper (to taste), parsley, basil, oregano and thyme. Saute with the beef until the onions are soft and translucent.
