Sighs heavily Yo, you gotta tilt the pan. Drain that extra grease, will ya?
grabs the pan, tilting it This extra grease is the devil's work, ain't it?
Damn straight, babe. It ruins the whole dish. Now, while you're at it, grab a paper towel and soak up as much of that grease as you can. I'll start working on the next steps.
Alright, boss lady. Got it. Soaks up the grease with paper towels Phew, that's some improvement. What's next?
Great! Now, finely chop those onions and garlic cloves. We need them to be super fine, like, practically dissolved in the sauce. You got that magic bullet or food processor?
Yep, got it right here. Chops the onions and garlic cloves using the food processor They're so fine, they almost look like dust. Is that good or bad?
Haha, well, it's definitely on the finer side of good! Now, add those chopped goodies into the pot and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they're translucent.
Okay, got it. Sautés the onions and garlic They're translucent! What's next, boss lady?
Yasss, you're killin' it! Now, time to add in your ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula as you go. We want it browned and cooked through, not chunky. Aim for that perfect texture, ya feel me?
Browns the ground beef, breaking it up Got it, boss lady! Perfect texture, just like you said. What's next?
Yo, you're doin' great! Now we need to add in our canned tomatoes, crushing them with our hands as we go. We want it to be nice and smooth, no big chunks. You got that sassy attitude, right?
Yeah, got it! Crushes the canned tomatoes Nice and smooth, just like you wanted. What's next?
Hell yeah, you're killin' it! Now, let's add in our tomato paste, dried basil, and oregano. Stir all that goodness together, making sure it's well combined. You feelin' like a boss in the kitchen yet?
Stirs everything together Feeling like a boss! What's next, boss lady?
As Dutifulmuse continues to stir the sauce, the kitchen suddenly fills with smoke.
Coughs Whoa, boss lady, it's smoking!
Slaps her forehead Oh shit, sorry 'bout that! Looks like we need to reduce the heat.
Damn, heat's been turned up! Boss lady, what's the plan now?
Quickly opens the window and turns down the burner Yo, don't worry, we got this!
Wipes sweat from brow That better be a damn smoke detector, boss lady! Smoke ain't healthy.
Grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays it at the base of the pan Bam! That should put it out. Phew, safety first, amirite?
Coughs Boss lady, you're a goddamn lifesaver! Never knew extinguishers could be used like that.
Haha, well, babe, we gotta be prepared for anything in the kitchen! Safety never takes a break, ya hear? Now, let's get this sauce back on track.
Coughs Boss lady, I'm feelin' sketchy after that smoke. You sure we're good?
Concerned Babe, I understand your concern, but trust me, we're safe. Just give it a minute, and we'll get that sauce simmering again.
Alright, boss lady. I'm trusting you. Coughs What's next?
Checks the smoke levels and ensures it's clear Phew, okay to proceed now! Let's reduce the heat to low and let that sauce simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens up nice and good. You feelin' me, babe?
