Just put together a slow cooker Bolognese sauce. Six hours from now will be heaven.
1 - 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 - 15 ounce can diced tomoatoes
1 - carrot diced
1 - celery stalk diced
1/2 - sweet onion diced
3 - cloves garlic chopped
2 - tsp Italian seasoning
Get all of that heating up in the slow cooker.
1/2 - pound ground beef
10 - oz diced pancetta
Brown it up and drain the fat. Now let it sit in the pan and get a little crispy. Add to the sauce.
1/4 - cup red wine.
Add it to the pan and scrape up all of the fond. Let it reduce by half and then add it to the sauce. Mix it all up, cover it, and then leave it the **** alone and let time and low heat do its magic.
Cook on high for about an hour and then turn it down to low for 5 hours. VERY IMPORTANT: Don't add salt or pepper until the very end. You need to let the flavors fully develop before you
can decide how much S&P you need. The pancetta will end up adding quite a bit of saltiness to it.
