🧾 Ingredients
1 sausage (bratwurst-style)
~100 g bacon
This sauce breaks every rule – and that’s exactly why it works.
Sausage, bacon, a whole onion with the skin on, and an entire head of garlic get fried first. Then everything is chopped and mixed with ground beef, tomato paste is cooked down, and it’s deglazed with red wine.
After simmering for an hour, Parmesan goes in.
