Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Heat olive oil in large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Stir in salt.
Meanwhile, slice 3 mushrooms and leave the rest whole. Add whole mushrooms and garlic cloves to food processor until finely-chopped.
Add chopped mushroom-garlic mixture and sliced mushrooms to skillet with onions; stir to combine.
Add 1/4 cup red wine to skillet; stirring occasionally as mushrooms cook and wine reduces down, about 3-5 minutes.
Add ground beef; breaking up with spatula into small crumbles until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add jar of marinara sauce; stir to combine with beef mixture, reducing heat to low, if needed.
Stir in remaining 1/4 cup red wine. Allow sauce to simmer 5-10 minutes; stirring occasionally. Serve over pasta, or as desired.

Notes

If serving over pasta, use 1 pound of your favorite pasta (or gluten-free pasta); cooked according to package instructions for al dente. If using sauce to make pizza, spread a layer of sauce over prepared crusts or fresh, homemade pizza dough, top with shredded mozzarella, then bake in oven according to prepackaged crust instructions or using your favorite homemade pizza recipe. To make sloppy joes, spoon sauce over burger buns then close with top bun (add shredded or sliced cheese, if desired, before adding top buns). Store sauce in fridge for up to 3 days. Dairy-free. Egg-free. Nut-free.
