Hi Guys, I have a crock pot recipe for you today. This is easy and will last for several meals. I finally got around to making some Bolognese sauce in the crockpot and it came out great. This was a recipe that I have wanted to make for some time now and I finally got to do it.
The only part of this recipe that will take some effort is cooking the meats, but the rest is just dump and let the crockpot do the work. This recipe is done doubled so you can reduce the ingredients by half if needed. Why I made this a double batch was to freeze the rest so later I had some sauce to pull out of my freezer for the work nights I just didn’t want to cook.
I hope you enjoy and let me know if you tried this recipe and how you liked it.
