Steps:

• Pulse all the veggies in a blender until they are chopped fine.
• Do the same with the bacon.
• Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and sauté the veggies until onion and celery are transparent.
• Add the bacon and cook for 3 minutes.
• Add the minced meat and cook until well browned.
• Add the tomato paste, basil and oregano; cook for 2 minutes to let the flavour of the herbs and paste come out.
• Add the canned tomatoes including their juice.
• Dissolve the beef bouillon and sugar in the water and add to the pan.
• Simmer for 1 hour or until the sauce is thick and not runny. If the water evaporates too quickly, top it up as the long cooking is what makes this taste great.
• Serve over cooked pasta of your choice or layer with lasagna sheets and a good bechemal sauce for a yummy lasagna.
• For adaptation to crockpot: Brown mince and onion then add all ingredients to crock pot and cook on low for 5 hours or more.
