Generational American twist on classic Italian meat sauce, packed with savory meat and tomatoes. A flavorful family heirloom.
Ingredients:
  • 3 slices bacon, diced
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2.3333332538605 cups chopped onion
  • 0.5 cup red wine
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 (16 ounce) cans tomato sauce

Instructions:
  • In a heavy 5-quart pot, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the grease starts to render out, for about 3 minutes. Add the ground beef and onions, cook and stir until the beef is crumbly and starts to brown, for about 10 minutes. Pour in the wine and season with salt, basil, oregano, garlic, and pepper. Simmer uncovered until most of the wine evaporates, for about 10 minutes.
