This recipe was created for those needing to limit their sodium intake, offering a flavourful alternative to commercial sauces. It combines ground beef, onion, mushrooms, and garlic with no-salt-added diced tomatoes. A splash of red wine vinegar provides a welcome tang, while a measured amount of optional parmesan keeps the dish low in salt.
