This simple beef ragù will easily feed a hungry crowd - and you really don't need much sauce per serving. To make it go even further, try adding a small handful of lentils, some stock or another tin of tomatoes, and lots of chopped vegetables such as carrots, celery and mushrooms.
A few rashers of chopped streaky bacon fried in with the onions make another tasty addition. And don't use the leanest mince - about 10% fat gives a good balance of fat and flavour. Any leftovers will also freeze well.

Beef mince
Eating lean beef increases your iron intake and is a great source of rich protein. It also contains vitamin B12 which aids in red blood cell production.
