I pretty much do the same recipe. We stayed with friends in Germany and they used the mixture of pork & beef mince-it was the nicest I've ever had.

I make my sauce in bulk justba basic tomatoe sauce and freeze it and add additional spices depending on the end dish i.e. Chilli etc
Done in the slow cooker 8 hours on low
6 x500g of chopped tomatoes with no added salt
6 cloves of garlic or to taste no need to chop
3large onions chopped
2 low salt oxo cubes and a good glug of Lea &perrin
1tbs Italian Seasoning
Pitch of sugar
1tbs tomatoe purée
Put the onions & garlic on the bottom of the slow cooker add the rest and leave no need to stir cook on low you can blitz the sauce with a stick blender if you want ( carrot peppers etc can be added and then the non veg kids never know they are in there )
Freeze when cool should give around 4 portions but I usually do 2small bags to use as pizza sauce
Each portion should be enough to use with a lb and a half of mince and tossed with pasta
Enough for 5/6 or 6/8 if using for lasagne etc just brown mince and add sauce simmer for 30 mins

Lardons and onion with small amount of olive oil, garlic, add diced carrot and celery then add minced beef. Add tinned chopped tomatoes and tomato puree, pepper, salt and oregano.

To be honest I just add any stray veg. that are lurking. A couple of days ago it was carrots, onions, courgettes, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes and a lurking baking apple, definitely not a purist but cooked it in a bolognase sauce. We all enjoyed it which is really what matters!

I put Worcester sauce or mushroom ketchup in mine. Plus I also add a large carrot grated on the finest grater setting and to get some extra veg goodness in I buy the frozen shredded spinach balls from sainsburys and put about four balls in. Spinach and carrot soften up so much they almost disappear but you feel healthy knowing there are hidden vitamins fibre iron goodness etc added
