Cooking Instructions

In a large pan, sauté the Thick-Cut Bacon (4 oz) over low heat about 4-5 minutes. Add Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) to the pan, along with Yellow Onion (1) , Celery (2 stalks) , Carrots (2) and cook over medium-low heat until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add Ground Pork (2 lb) and raise the heat to medium-high. Season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) and sauté until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Add White Wine (4 Tbsp) and cook until it reduces down, about 4 minutes.

If you used a skillet for the first two steps, transfer the pork and vegetables to the crock pot. Add Tomato Paste (1 can) and Crushed Tomatoes (2 cans) . Cover and set the slow cooker to low. Slow cook for 4-6 hours.

Once slow cooking is complete, adjust Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) and stir in the Kemps Half & Half (sponsored) (1/2 cup) .
