Step 6

Add protein to the sauce, cover pot and let the sauce simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes until protein is cooked or hot while stirring often on low heat. Make sure sauce and protein don't burn or stick to pan. This is also where you would add desired vegetables (chopped or diced) to sauce mixture.
