1 can whole tomatoes in juice about 28 ounces
4 tablespoons tomato paste heaping
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon parsley flakes

Mince or run your carrot, celery, and yellow onion through a food processor.
Add to the meat and stir well.
Run the whole tomatoes through your food processor and add them.
