Italian Lasagna Meat Sauce

I make this tomato based meat sauce the day
before I intend to put together a baked lasagna.
Letting it sit overnight in the refrigerator seems
to let the flavors combine together well.
It makes for the best tasting Italian Lasagna.

Ingredients:
1 green bell pepper, small dice
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 onion, peeled and small dice
dash of salt to taste
2 tablespoon olive oil for saute
1 pound ground sirloin
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon Worcestirshire sauce
dash of brown gravy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
dash of salt to taste

Directions:
Put oil in a large saute pan along with the
garlic, onion and green bell peppers.
Saute vegetables on high heat until softened,
lower heat. (Do not let them brown.)
Remove vegetables from pan then add in pan
the ground beef breaking it up with a spoon.
Add salt to the ground beef to taste.
Remove cooked beef from pan and drain the fat
from the pan then add back in beef and vegetables.
Stir to combine and add in the canned crushed tomatoes.
Season with salt, ground pepper and oregano to taste.
Bring to a boil and then turn off heat, cover pan.
let pan sit on stove for 1 hour or until cool enough to
place meatsauce in a covered container for refrigerator.
