2 pounds lean ground beef

1 pound ground pork

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 onions, chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

3 cups red wine, divided

2 pounds fresh mushrooms, sliced

4 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

¼ teaspoon dried rosemary

¼ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

3 (29 ounce) cans tomato sauce

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook beef and pork in the hot skillet until crumbly and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Warm olive oil in another large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic in hot oil until onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup wine; mix well.

Add mushrooms, oregano, rosemary, and thyme to onion mixture. Pour in another 1/2 cup wine; cook and stir until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.

Add browned meat, tomato sauce, and tomato paste to mushroom mixture. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour.

Pour in remaining 2 cups wine. Continue simmering for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally; serve.
