1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add the minced onion and red peppers and sauté until the onions are translucent.
2. Add the garlic, anchovies, and horseradish and cook another minute. Add the ground beef and cook until mostly browned. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking until the ground beef is completely cooked. Add the tomato paste and cook another few minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomatoes, and Italian seasoning.
