Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb Italian sausage ground
- 1 onion minced
- 2 carrot very finely chopped
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 3 - ounce crushed tomato canned
- 1 - ounce marinara sauce I use Newman's Own, jar, your favorite
- 1 cup water
- 3 bay leaf
- 3 tsp better than chicken bouillon
- 3 tsp basil dried
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp oregano dried
- 2 tsp sugar to taste
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp parsley dried
- 1/2 tsp thyme dried
- 1/2 - 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes crushed
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and Italian sausage, cooking until browned, about 5-6 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef and sausage as it cooks. The last 2-3 minutes, add onion, carrot and garlic to beef and cook. Drain in a colander to remove excess grease.
- Place meat mixture into bottom of slow cooker. Add remaining sauce ingredients and stir to combine. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
Notes
- If desired, stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream at the end of cooking, cover and cook another 5-10 minutes to warm it through. Cream really rounds out the flavors and adds a beautiful richness, but it's optional
