Italian ground beef

Tonight's dinner came from the website spinachtiger.com  I was interested in it because I had all of the ingredients in the house and it talked about the simplicity lending to the deliciousness.  I found it boring, as did Sanford, so we did a little adjusting.  It was much better, probably due to the cream!

Italian beef.  Saute 1 chopped onion in olive oil.  Add ground beef which has been salted and peppered.  Cook until med rare.  Add a couple of cups of frozen peas and red chili flakes.  At this point, I thought it was boring so this is where we embellished the recipe.  Add 1 tsp each dried thyme and dried oregano.  Cook a little longer.  More salt and pepper to taste.  Add about 1/4 cup heavy cream.  Cook.  When off of heat, add minced basil and grated parmesian. 

We served this with steamed cauliflower, tomatoes, aioli and a baguette.  It worked surprisingly well together!
