Ingredients

•  1 tablespoon olive oil
•  1 medium onion (chopped)
•  3 medium carrots (chopped)
•  4 sticks celery (chopped)
•  1.5 pounds ground beef
•  1.5 pounds ground pork
•  4 cloves garlic (minced)
•  1 (5.5 ounce) can tomato paste
•  2 dashes Italian seasoning
•  2 dashes dried thyme
•  2 cups beef broth
•  1/2 cup dry red wine (optional, see note)
•  1/2 cup heavy cream
•  Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1.  Sauté the onions, carrots, and celery in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Add the mixture to your slow cooker.
2.  Add the ground beef and pork to the skillet and cook, breaking up the meat with your spoon as you go along, until it's browned. Drain most of the fat prior to adding the meat to your slow cooker.
3.  Add the remaining ingredients (except for the cream and salt & pepper) to your Crockpot and give it a good stir. Cook for 8 hours on low.
4.  Once the sauce is done, stir in the cream and season with salt & pepper as needed.
