Day 25: Bolognese in the Slow Cooker

I have really been wanting to try making bolognese in the slow cooker ever since I started my resolution.  I finally decided this week would be a good week.  I put it all together in the morning before I went to work.  It worked out perfectly timing-wise because I had a really long work day but it started at 11 so I had plenty of time to do TONS of chopping in the morning.  I think in the future if I make this recipe I will probably cut up everything the night before or even the weekend before and just throw it in the freezer.




In terms of the flavor I thought it was OK.  I think I would probably take a stick blender to it just a bit creamier and blend everything.  The thickness of the sauce also what I thought it would be, it was pretty watery.  I served with garlic bread and sprinkled with LOTS of parm and some fresh parsley.  I think it turned out pretty good but I would definitely like to fine a heartier bolognese recipe for the slow cooker.  Let me know if you have any suggestions!
