Ingredients

1 lb mild Italian sausage
1 lb lean ground beef
8 oz guanciale or pancetta chopped to ¼”
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbls vegetable oil
1 yellow onion diced fine
1 28 oz San Marzano tomatoes
1 15 oz crushed tomatoes
12 oz tomato paste
1 cup beef bouillion
½ cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tbs oregano fresh, chopped
2 tbs flat leaf parsley fresh, chopped
2 tbs basil fresh, chopped
2 lbs of your favorite dried pasta

Method

Brown the guanciale in a frying pan. Drain and set aside. Brown the Italian sausage and ground beef together. Break up the meat as it cooks. Drain and set aside.
Place oil and onions in a 4 qt dutch oven. Cook on medium heat until soft. Puree the whole tomatoes in a blender and add to the dutch oven along with the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Add all other ingredients and stir well.
Place the dutch oven in a 250 degree oven and simmer for two hours. This helps prevent the sauce from burning on the bottom of the pan.
Serve over your favorite pasta.
