Slow Cooker Beef Bolognese Sauce

Bolognese sauce is a whole-hearted Italian pasta-sauce in which ground beef or pork or any mix of minced meat are cooked for hours in milk, wine, tomatoes, and vegetables. Mostly people get confused it with ragù; better known as ragù alla bolognese. Genuine ragù alla bolognese is a complex sauce which involves slow cooking of minced meat and tomato sauce with different herbs and veggies. This sauce was served with pasta and it came from late 18th century Imola, near Bologna. That’s where the name Bolognese came from.  

This sauce is ideal for spaghetti and angle hair, but it can be used with any kind of pasta you have at home, like it goes well with Lasagna too. This recipe is rich in flavors and taste really earthy and amazing when served warm over the cooked spaghetti. Ideally this recipe requires slow cooking techniques so that flavors infuses completely into the dish. You can use slow cooker techniques for this recipe. This is one of the simplest and yummiest ground beef recipe that you can make in a slow cooker. This dish has become very popular in France, Libya, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway, especially among children’s. Children love this recipe and the best thing is that you can add as many veggies you want to make it healthy for kids.  

We are making this recipe in a slow cooker, and therefore adding less of milk than usual as it may curdle in a slow cooker. And moreover you can also refrigerate this sauce for further use. Just thaw it and serve it with any pasta recipe of your choice. 

So let’s cooking one of my favorite ground beef recipes –

The Tasty Health Benefits of Chili Recipe



Chili recipe is an ultimate cold-weather comfort food. More than just delicious, this healthy chili is a simple one-pot meal that can be made with ingredients you already have in your hands. In fact it can easily be pushed to feed a crowd on any Sunday brunches or any given Game Day.

The main ingredients of a chili recipe are different beans and ground beef. We all know the benefits of beef. Just make sure that you use leaner meat for healthy recipes. Now comes the beans; beans are available either in canned or dried. I prefer the dried ones as this way you can control the salt and other preservatives which you do not want to add. Beans are an excellent source of fiber, it provide an average of 6g of fiber per ½ cup. They contain both insoluble and soluble fiber, which may help in lowering the cholesterol, it also improves glucose control and prevent colon cancer and diverticulitis. To cook beans, make sure you soak them in normal water for overnight and then boil them and cook until it’s soft. 

Today I am sharing an easy chili recipe that you can make easily on any given day. The flavors are enticing and mouth-watering. But genuinely chili recipe is no rocket science everyone has their own recipe and ingredients for it. It’s all about creativity in flavors and taste. So just feel free to make some changes or alternatives in this recipe. 

Anyways without wasting time, let’s jot down the recipe –

Recipes with Ground Beef: Beef Samosa and Last minute Lasagna



Ground Beef recipes are one of my favorite recipes and the recipes I am sharing over here are my all-time favorite. As I told you about my Indian friend Neha, she has introduced me with an awesome Indian snack called “samosa”, we can relate it with puffs; although they are fried and not baked! Believe me, the flavors still tickle my senses. I had tried the vegetarian version of this samosa filled with potatoes. But today I am sharing an awesome recipe of samosa with ground beef i.e. Beef Samosa. It’s a delight, mouthwatering and perfect snacks for parties too. Serve it with dips or just with some ketchup and you are good to go. 

The second simple recipe is Last Minute Lasagna! Who don’t like Lasagna but what’s more fascinating about this recipe is, that it is super quick and simple to make. This could be one of the real good dinner ideas for your weekend.

If I talk about the benefits of beef, then I would always suggest you to get lean beef for all your preparations. Beef contributes into the daily protein food intake, its rich in Vitamin B12, Iron, Zinc, Phosphorous and many more vital nutrients. Not only does it provide you with a bundle of essential nutrients, but it has one of the highest concentrations of these nutrients compared to many other proteins. Choose leanest cuts like Loin and Round for better health results.

Anyways without wasting much time, let’s start cooking. First I will share the recipe of Beef samosa and later the lasagna.
