George Stephanopoulos’ Sunday Sauce with a Greek twist:

Ingredients
# 3 medium sweet onions
# 3 carrots
# 3 celery stalks
# 1 tablespoon garlic (chopped)
# 4 strips thick bacon
# 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
# 1/2 pound ground pork
# 1/2 pound ground veal
# 1 large can plum tomatoes

# 3 ounces milk
# 3 tablespoons olive oil
# Salt and pepper

Cooking Directions

Chop vegetables and bacon.

Brown bacon until crisp. Add oil and brown garlic. Then add onions. Saute slowly over medium heat (10-15 minutes). Add carrots and celery. Saute another 5-10 minutes.

Brown meat in separate pan, seasoned with salt and pepper. Then fold into vegetables for another 5-10 minutes. Crush tomatoes by hand over meat and vegetables. When whole mixture is bubbling add milk and cinammon stick.

Stir, cover, reduce heat to simmer and cook for an additional 1-3 hours.

Serve with any kind of pasta. Flavor improves if you refrigerate overnight.
