Seriously Simple Bolognese

This was the easiest and most simple Bolognese I've ever made. I totally recommend it.

olive oil
carrot
onions
american streaky bacon
mince (ground beef)
milk
beer
1 can of chopped tomatoes
brown sugar
nutmeg
salt & pepper
herbs

SERIOUSLY YOU PROB ALREADY HAVE ALL THIS IN YOUR HOUSE OMG.

Heat oil in a saucepan, add the chopped onions, finely chopped carrot, an d finely chopped bacon. Cook on a medium heat, then turn up heat a bit, so that the onion isn't browning too much but the bacon starts to get crispy. Add the mince and brown it, stirring it quite often so that it doesn't form into clumps. When its looking mostly cooked, add most of one beer, a cup or so of milk and a can of tomatoes. Add some brown sugar, some herbs (I had some fresh thyme) and a bit of salt and pepper. Grate in some nutmeg.



Reduce heat and cook until there is less liquid. Adjust seasoning to taste and remove from heat a bit before serving. This lets the sauce thicken a bit before you shove it over pasta.

Here it is the next morning on MANTOAST.



Enjoy!
