Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add minced garlic, diced onions, and green pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onions are softened.
Add ground chuck to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks (7-8 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, basil, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Lower the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water or broth if the sauce thickens too much.
Serve the sauce over spaghetti or your favorite pasta. Garnish with extra parsley or Parmesan, if desired.

For a richer flavor, simmer the sauce for an hour or more.

Add extra veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, or carrots to the sauce for more flavor.

For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or fresh chili peppers.

For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey, chicken, or sausage for the ground chuck.
