We love going back to the classic recipes, because they do not disappoint. This traditional red meat sauce requires a long simmer, but it is worth the time to really bring out those flavors. We know that sometimes there just isn’t the time, so we’ve got you covered with slow cooker and instant pot instructions as well.

History Lesson: Bolognese sauce comes from the city of Bologna, Italy in the late 1800s. Outside of Italy, ‘Bolognese sauce’ often refers to any tomato based sauce with minced beef or pork. However, in Bologna it is taken quite seriously and a very specific recipe is used. The local government even gave their stamp of approval! Our recipe follows along closely with the official government-approved recipe. We love the additional flavor that herbs bring, so we do offer additional variations.

INGREDIENTS :
- 1 pound ground sweet Italian sausage
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 large white onion diced
- 1/4 cup finely diced carrot
- 1/4 cup finely diced celery
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 6 ounce can tomato paste
- 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup white wine

- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

INTRUCTIONS :
- In a large pot over medium heat, add in ground sausage and ground beef. Use a spoon to break up the meat into small pieces. Brown 5 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add in onion, carrot, and celery and cook another 5 to 7 minutes until onions are soft and meat is cooked through.
- Add in garlic and tomato paste and garlic and cook 2 minutes, until tomato paste starts to toast.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes, white wine, beef broth, and milk. Stir in fresh basil, parsley, and oregano (if using) and season with salt and pepper. Herbs are optional for additional flavor, but not a part of traditional bolognese sauce.
- Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 1 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Flavors will continue to develop the longer you allow the sauce to simmer, so simmer for up to 4 hours if time permits.
