NONNA CONSUELO'S BOLOGNESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pulse onion, carrots, and celery in a food processor until finely chopped; set aside. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring often, until brown and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Scrape into a medium bowl and set aside. Wipe skillet clean and add remaining 3 Tbsp. oil; heat over medium heat. Add reserved onion mixture and cook, stirring often and lowering heat if starting to brown, until softened, about 20 minutes. Add broth and 1 cup water. Stir in reserved meat, tomatoes, basil, garlic, and oregano. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld and sauce thickens 1-1 1/2 hours. Remove garlic; crush with the back of a spoon and stir back into sauce. Season sauce to taste with salt, pepper, sugar, and more bouillon, if desired.
