Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 can (14.5 ounces) stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream or sour cream
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella, optional)

Sauté Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.

Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Add Creaminess: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream or sour cream until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth. If using, sprinkle shredded cheese on top and let it melt.
Serve: Spoon the creamy beef tomato mixture over cooked pasta or rice and enjoy!
