2 Tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 pounds ground chuck
1 cup red wine (I use merlot)
2 cans (28 ounce each) crushed tomatoes
4 Tablespoons tomato paste
3 beef bouillon cubes, crushed
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
3 bay leaves (I use 2)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional (you can use up to 2 teaspoons. They're all totally optional but I recommend you use at least 1/2 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
In skillet, heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add garlic and onions. Sautee until onion is translucent and sweet, about 5 or 6 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.
In same skillet, brown ground chuck in small batches until all is browned, adding meat to slow cooker as you go.
Put the red wine into the skillet to deglaze any meat bits that may have stuck to the skillet. Add to the slow cooker.
Put remaining ingredients into the cooker. Stir well. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, stirring now and then.
