Slow-Cooked Bolognese Sauce

This turned out painfully bland,despite my expectations based on the aromas that filled the house all day. I even added a clove of smashed garlic to the butter and let it stew for 8 hours until discarding when I served. When paired with Parpadelle and garnished with fresh parsley and shaved Parmesan, it was still surprisingly flavorless. Next time I plan to use 1 lb lean beef, 1 lb ground veal, 3 cloves smashed garlic, a little olive oil and some seasoning; then I will season the meat and add that mixture to the vegetables. This is a great base recipe but you really have to tweak it to your liking.

My entire family loved this dish. I put it on in the morning and by the time I got home in the evening I just had to boil some pasta and make a quick salad and some bread and feed my family a gourmet dinner easily.

Great go to meal when time is limited..I added one quarter cup of leftover red wine to recipe...everyone loved it..

Wow! This was really good. The only change I made was to use 1% milk. I didn't prep the ingredients at all, just placed them in the slow cooker and let it cook for hours.

great base recipe but I agree with another reviewer that it needs more spices. I added quite a bit of Italian spices and crushed garlic. I used red wine instead of white. My favorite addition is chopped pepperoni! ....that will certainly give it a zip!

I mix veal and sirloin for this and add another carrot, garlic and use an herbed tomatoe and garlic. It is a hit everytime and even better the next day.
