I can’t believe it is June. My dad always told me “ Just wait; when you get older, time flies,” He wasn’t kidding. I just wish he was still here to celebrate Father’s Day. This dish reminds me of him, so I’m sharing the recipe in honor of my dad. Here’s my hearty Ground Beef Ragu recipe. It’s a great dish to make any time, but always perfect when celebrating Fathers day. It’s rich in flavor, and delicious and simple to make. This is also a great time to have the kids come in the kitchen to help, making it more special to serve this dish to daddies, granddad’s and love ones. Enjoy!
