Serves 6 |
This dish will bring you back to your childhood.
Ingredients:
6 slices bacon, diced |
1 yellow onion, diced |
4 cloves garlic, minced |
2 lbs ground beef |
1 can tomato paste, 6 oz. |
1/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving |
1 cup milk |
Kosher salt, to taste |
Ground black pepper, to taste |

Add onion; cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes until beef is no longer pink. Add and stir in tomato paste, 1/3 cup cheese and milk. Season mixture with salt and then place insert into slow cooker base.
