Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 lb ground beef
1 lb link Italian sausage
3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato paste
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes (drained)
1 1/2 cups onions (diced)
1 cup bell pepper (diced)
1 cup mushroom (sliced)
1 cup red wine
3 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 -2 tablespoon sugar
3 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons marjoram (dried)
2 teaspoons thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese (grated)
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef, season to taste with salt and pepper, drain and set aside.
  • Cut link sausage up into meatball size pieces, brown, drain, and set aside. I use Thomasville Hot. If making sauce for lasagna, remove sausage from casings and brown with the ground beef.
  • Sauté garlic, onion, and bell pepper in olive oil, just until the onions are translucent.
  • Add meat, tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, herbs and spices, mushrooms, sugar, and wine. I use fresh mushrooms, and a red burgandy for a deeper earthy flavor. Omit mushrooms if making sauce for lasagna.
  • Simmer on medium low for at least one hour, stirring occasionally.
  • When ready to serve, mix corn starch with water and add to sauce, along with both cheeses to thicken.
  • When cheese is incorporated, and sauce has thickened, serve over your choice of pasta or use as a meat filling for lasagna.

BOLOGNESE BEEF SAUCE



Bolognese Beef Sauce image

This recipe is from one of my favorite cooking shows - Best Recipes Ever. If you prefer you could use ground turkey instead of ground beef. The longer you slow simmer this sauce the better. I used ground turkey and could not detect the difference. I also cut the crushed and diced tomatoes back by 50%, as I thought it would otherwise be too 'tomatoye'

Categories     Meat

Time 2h

Yield 8 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb extra lean ground beef
6 ounces pancetta, finely chopped (or use bacon)
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, finely diced
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon fennel seed, lightly crushed
1/2 cup milk
28 ounces whole tomatoes
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine (or 2 tsp/10 mL red wine vinegar)
1 bay leaf
1 pinch granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, saute beef over medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain off any fat.
  • Add pancetta, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme, salt, pepper and fennel seeds; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.
  • Add milk; simmer until almost all liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, wine, bay leaf and sugar, breaking up tomatoes with potato masher (I usually just use a fork). .
  • Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until thickened and mixture can mound on spoon, about 1 hour.
  • Discard bay leaf. Stir in parsley.
  • (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate, uncovered, in airtight container until cold. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sauce. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, high-quality ground beef, and a good quality dry red wine.
  • Brown the beef well. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the sauce from being greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much beef to the pan at once, it will steam instead of brown. Cook the beef in batches if necessary.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 2 hours. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a bit of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. Spaghetti, penne, and rigatoni are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Bolognese sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to use up leftover beef, and it can also be made ahead of time and frozen. Whether you are serving it over pasta, polenta, or zucchini noodles, this sauce is sure to be a hit.
