Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 to 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 1 to 2 carrots, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck (80 percent lean)
- 8 ounces ground pork
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 1/4 cups dry white wine
- 2 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 can (28 ounces) peeled plum tomatoes with juice, pureed
Directions
Melt butter in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Cook onion, celery, and carrots, stirring often, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add beef, pork, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring and breaking up meat with a fork, until meat has cooked through but not browned, about 8 minutes.
Add milk and nutmeg. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently until liquid reduces by half and meat is above liquid, 20 to 25 minutes. Add wine, and simmer gently until liquid reduces by half, about 15 minutes.
Add stock, pureed tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon salt. Gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Season with pepper. Let cool slightly.

Great!
I grated the celery and carrots and added just 1 minced clove of garlic.
I let it simmer longer than all of the suggested times until i liked the consistency.
Don't be afriad to start with less salt and add as you go if you want. I thought mine could have done without the full amount of salt instructed. There are so many rich flavors and I don't think it needs much.
Makes a lot. Good for a get together and even better left over. Especially great when its cold out.

Flavorful, full bodied taste. Highly recommend. This is a classic you'll want to keep close by to make over and over again.
