1 c milk

In large skillet combine olive oil, onion, celery, and carrots. Cook over medium hat stirring frequently until tender (about 10 min). Add meat and cook till no longer pink. Add milk and increase heat to high, cook until milk has evaporated. Transfer mixture to 4-6 qt slow cooker. Return to skillet to heat and add tomato paste. Cook over low heat to reduce bitterness (about 5 min) Add tomato paste to cooker, along with tomatoes, salt, nutmeg, sugar and seasoning. Cook on low for 8 hours. Serve with rotini

This makes a ton! We can put half in the freezer and still have enough left to feed Dominic and myself two times in one week.
