Bolognese Sauce w/Pasta (GF) *

1 Tbsp olive oil
2 onions finely chopped (3 cups)
3 carrots finely chopped (1 cup...I put these in a food processor and chop into very small pieces so my kids don't know they're eating cooked carrots)
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 lbs ground beef
1 lbs ground pork
1/4 cup tomato paste
salt and pepper to taste
1 regular can of beef broth (make sure it is GF)
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 cup milk

In large sauce pan, heat oil over high heat. Add onions, carrots, and garlic; cook, stirring until slightly softened...about 2 min. Add beef and pork; cook breaking up meat until no longer pink - drain. Stir in tomato paste; cook 1 min...season with salt and pepper.

Add broth and tomatoes. Bring sauce to a simmer; cook partially covered...stirring occasionally until thickened (about 1 hour). Add milk; simmer until completely absorbed, 15 min more. Season again with salt and pepper.

Serve over pasta of choice!!
This recipes freezes really well. Sometimes I'll double the recipe and then freeze it into family sized portions (you might have to simmer it for longer than 1 hour due to the larger amounts of liquid that need to cook down...but that will depend on how you like your pasta sauce). For my family of 6, a single batch of this will make enough for 2 meals. I also did not add much salt to the sauce I made for the Broadcast because there is salt in the meat and the tomato products. We're all about low-sodium diets!
