Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp oil
1 large onion, finely diced
2 slices bacon, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
500 g beef mince , leanest you can buy
2 tbsp bell peppers, finely chopped
1 (140 g) can tomato paste
1/2 cup red wine
1 (440 g) can chopped tomatoes , and their juice
2 cups beef broth
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 pinch mixed pumpkin spice or 1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large fry pan over a medium heat.
Add the onion and bacon and cook until the onion is golden and tender.
Add the minced garlic and cook a couple of minutes more.
Add the mince and cook, breaking up with a fork, until the meat has all changed colour.
Add the bell pepper and cook for a minute or two.
Now add the tomato paste and cook it out for another minute or two before adding the wine.
Allow the wine to reduce a little, before adding the remaining sauce ingredients.
Simmer until reduced and a deep rich red/ brown.
*You could call this cooked in 30 minutes, but I like to let it simmer about 2 hours, stirring regularly to make sure it's not catching.
Add a little more broth or water if it looks like doing so.
