Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large carrot, finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- Two 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- Pasta, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, carrots, celery and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste, thyme and nutmeg, and continue cooking until the vegetables have softened and started to brown, about 2 minutes. Deglaze with the wine, pulling up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully transfer to the slow cooker. Stir in the cream and tomatoes. Mix the pork and sirloin together in a separate bowl, using your hands, until combined. Stir the meat into the slow cooker, spreading out evenly and avoiding any large clumps. Cover and cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or on low 8 to 10 hours. Skim the accumulated grease from the surface before serving.
- Serve over pasta with crusty bread for soaking up the sauce.
