In dutch oven, or other large pot, add all canned tomato and meat mixture. Begin adding seasonings except salt and pepper. The seasonings are really to your taste, but you'll want to start out with at least a teaspoon of each. Let simmer on low to med-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about an hour. After about 30 minutes, taste to check seasonings. At the one hour mark, add salt and pepper to taste and any additional seasonings. Keep heat on low while preparing rest of dish.
