Slow Cooker Bolognese Sauce is a staple in my home! A slow cooked ragú made with lean ground beef, pancetta, onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, wine, and cream is one of my favorite Italian sauces. I make this sauce whenever I need to feed a large crowd, or just to keep in my freezer. Sautee your vegetables first on low heat then add the meat, which is cooked on a higher heat. True Bolognese is cooked on the lowest heat for at least three hours.
