Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 lb. ground sausage
  • 1 onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 sticks celery chopped
  • 2 carrots peeled and chopped
  • 8 oz. red wine
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 x14 oz. cans crushed tomato
  • 1 tbsp Italian herbs
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large heavy-based pot over MED-HIGH heat. Brown the ground beef and sausage meat.
  • Remove the meat from the pot once browned. Add the rest of the olive oil along with the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5–8 minutes.
  • Add the browned meat back in the pot, along with the red wine, tomato paste, crushed tomato herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir then cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer for 45–60 minutes, until most of the liquid has been cooked away. Taste the sauce and add more seasoning if necessary.
