Place the ground meat in a bowl, mix in the green pepper and the onion. Add a pinch of oregano, a pinch of ground black pepper and a tsp of salt.

In a saucepan heat the oil. Add the meat and mix until cooked evenly. Add two tbsp of water and the tomato sauce. Let it cook over medium heat. Adjust the water as needed.

When the meat is fully cooked, let the liquid evaporate, adjusting the salt to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
