2 tablespoons olive oil |
18 ounces meat loaf mix or 6 ounces each lean ground beef, lean ground veal, and lean ground pork |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1/3 cup coarsely chopped carrot |
1/3 cup coarsely chopped celery |
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped |

Directions:
1. Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add meat, onion, carrot, celery, and garlic; sauté until meat begins to brown, about 8 minutes. Add wine and cook until wine evaporates, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with juices, half and half, and oregano. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, about 25 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
