Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 large carrots finely diced
- 2 large stalks of celery finely diced
- 2 cups of finely diced white onion
- 2 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 28 oz cans of crushed tomatoes
- 1 156ml can of tomato paste
- 1-2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 cube of beef boullion
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup grated fresh parmesan
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Saute the carrots, celery and onion until tender. Add in the garlic and saute for another 2 minutes, until it's fragrant and lightly browned. Place the vegetables into the bottom of a large slow cooker.
- In the same pan cook the ground beef until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain the grease and add to the slow cooker.
- Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning and boullion cube.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- When the sauce is done to your liking, stir in the cream and the Parmesan to finish.
- Use on your favourite pasta. Freeze the leftovers for another meal.
Notes
- Serving size and nutritional info is for a yield of approximately 3 jars (650-800ml) of bolognese sauce.
- To freeze, leave out the milk and the Parmesan and freeze. Add them when you use it.
- Depending on your Italian seasoning you might have to adjust to taste. I use two TBSP of my favourite brand, yours might be more potent. Adjust accordingly.
