Tuco de Carne Chilean Meat Sauce

Tuco de Carne Chilean Meat SauceLast week was very cold here, and one day I had the idea of using some ground beef for burgers, but the thought of turning on the grill and being outside was terrible, at least for me, so I made this simple meat sauce or bolognese meat sauce for spaghetti. Nothing fancy, but very tasty and homey. And an everyday meal in Chilean kitchens.

    ¡Feliz jueves! Yo soy una maestra de español. Tengo ganas de ser una cocinera excelente. Voy a comprar el libro de recetas arriba. Yo tengo un interés en la comida chilena por razón de la película 33 con el actor Antonio Banderas. Saber como cocinar es un arte y una dádiva. Yo nací en los EE.UU. pero siempre estoy estudiando la comida de otros países- por ejemplo los platos de España ( yo viví en Alcalá de Henares), los platos del Salvador (el padre de mi niño es salvadoreño), los platos de Méjico y los platos de los afroamericanos. Soy afroamericana ( sonrisita). Yo quiero preparar el plato de espagueti chileno por mi hijo. ¡Que Dios le bendiga!
