Instructions
Place tomatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet and put them under the broiler for 5 to 8 minutes, while you get the ground beef going below.
2 large garden tomatoes
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, place ground beef and onion. Chop and stir with a wooden spoon until beef is fully brown and onion is tender and translucent (about 10 minutes). If not using lean ground beef, drain grease.
1-2 pounds lean ground beef, 1 onion, chopped
Remove tomatoes from the oven while ground beef is cooking and set aside to cool slightly. Once cooled, carefully peel the skin off and slice them into large wedges.
Add tomatoes to ground beef and onion in the skillet and continue cooking over medium-high heat while you stir and chop them up, being careful not to squirt hot juice on yourself.
Add salt, parsley, black pepper, and sugar (if using sugar). Stir well and cook for about 10 minutes.
