Bolognese Sauce ~ Daily Crockpot Recipe for October

Every day in October I am featuring a CROCKPOT menu-a-day. Use this as inspiration or for your daily meal plan! Make sure you check back each day on Wildtree Cooking with Jen Warr to see what yummy menu I am suggesting.


Bolognese Sauce
1 TBSP Wildtree Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil
1⁄2 cup finely chopped onion
1⁄2 cup finely chopped celery
1⁄4 cup finely chopped carrot
2 lbs cooked & drained ground beef
2 (28 oz) cans peeled, crushed tomatoes (plain)
2 TBSP Wildtree Hearty Spaghetti
1 TBSP Wildtree Garlic Galore

1/4 cup red wine (optional)
Salt & pepper to taste (or my favorite substitute - Wildtree's Rancher Steak Rub!)

Instructions

Pour all ingredients into crock pot and cook on low 6-8 hours. In the

last 1⁄2 hour of cooking, remove the lid to allow excess liquid to evaporate and reduce the

sauce. Serve over pasta of your choice with an arugula salad with bocconcini, garlic sautéed broccolini and warm Focaccia Bread or garlic bread.
