This Slow Cooker Bolognese recipe is hands down the easiest Bolognese I have ever made! It's perfect to get started in the morning before work, taking just 5 minutes to prep. It's high in protein, great for meal prepping, and is dirt cheap costing just $1.65 per portion.
Equipment
- Slow Cooker (3.5 quarts)
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Onion very finely sliced
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 kg Beef mince 10% fat
- 175 ml Red Wine dry
- 1 kg Chopped Tomatoes
- 2 handful Basil
- Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper
To Serve
- Pasta
- Parmesan
Instructions
- Place the Beef Mince into the slow cooker. Add a generous amount of Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper. Use a wooden spoon and spend about 1 minute breaking up the Beef Mince.
- Add Red Wine, Tomatoes, Onion, Garlic and a handful of Basil. Set your slow cooker too slow and cook for 8 hours. Carefully take off the lid and break up any big chunks of Beef Mince and mix through another handful of Basil.
- If the Bolognese is still a bit saucey, take off the lid from the slow cooker and turn to high, leave to cook for 30-60 minutes.
Adding Pasta
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil about 20 minutes before the Bolognese is ready. Add the Pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the Pasta and serve with a ladle of Bolognese.
