You NEED This Meat Sauce in Your Arsenal

I made this just like the video. It was great. When Brian says “Trust me”, you can trust him. Thanks for all the recipes and handy hacks. Much appreciated sir.

I love the way Brian brings up his experience here. He doesn't brag about having worked in a "professional kitchen" as a shield against all criticism and to flaunt superiority over us home cooking peasants. He recognizes that home cooking techniques are different than professional kitchen techniques and that gives a few gaps in spite of his depth of knowledge and skill and also doesn't put the professional kitchen techniques on a pedestal.

That sort of humility and understanding is key to mastering anything, and that's one of the reasons why he's managed to reach such a level of mastery that he has.

Edit: Oh, and as someone that does not have access to a stove, but does have access to a toaster oven, thank you for the oven technique for cooking meat. Obviously I'm not cooking pasta and pasta sauce, but it is still useful for me for what I am eating.

I made this for friends tonight and it was magical. This may be the best Italian dish I have ever had. I cooked a lot of Italian food but this is my favorite. It takes a lot of time especially if you make the pasta but it is worth it. Food of the gods. The balsamic was the perfect touch. I note that you do not mention the pancetta in your written instructions but if others cook this don't forget the pancetta. I don't know Brian at all, so I can say this guy is a genius. This recipe takes all the traditional Bolognese recipes from Italy and creates a new dish that is out of this world. I will donate tonight.

Roasting the ground meat in the oven 🤯🤯 game changer!

I get happy when I see your well-used dutch oven. It looks like mine which was handed from a loving stepmother from her mother. As comforting as the bolognese itself.

Roasting the mince separately in the oven, cooling and breaking up by hand is a genius tip!

I've been making Marcella Hazan's Bolognese recipe for years, but your method is stellar & I must try it!!! I have a GF egg noodle recipe I break out for special occasions, and making this Bolognese recipe will definitely merit the time & effort for fresh pasta. Thanks for another winner, Brian!

Finally, a bolognese my way, ground beef and pork. I’ve been side eyed plenty for this dish but it’s perfect for anyone who takes the time to try it

This has the feel of the perfect Sunday meal in October/November. Definitely going to try, thanks!

I love how you cooked the meat in the oven. I now do that for all my ground meats. This sauce is so wonderful and easy. I also made your ciabatta bread. Couldn't make bread to save my life before I found you. TOTALLY AWESOME MEAL. Thank you for all the wonderful videos

Made this yesterday for Sunday sauce. It's the best Italian dish I've ever made. It's probably going to be my forever go to. Big thanks my man. Whenever I have inspiration for a dish, I'm searching your videos for your take on it. Only thing I failed to do was label the uncooked pasta in the fridge and my girlfriend heated that up the next day in the microwave thinking it was cooked. She still loved the pasta raw in the sauce!

Made it tonight, loved the texture and balanced sauce. I also appreciated the food processor for sofrito and meat sheet for browning tips for execution. I’m used to making the rustic babysit the stove version. 🤙

Omg. Omg. Can’t wait to make this! I’m new to your channel and have been binge watching every episode! I cannot wait to get started cooking! Thank you so much!!!❤️

Just got done making this luscious sauce, this is the best bolognese I have ever made and I have experimented with what seems like hundreds of recipes and this one hit it out of the park. I made this to take on my sailing trip and will use it for a number of dishes. My guests will go nuts. They have no idea what they are in for. Thanks for this recipe. See you all in two months. God bless!!

I admire a man who cooks. Pasta from scratch is very difficult for me. You are a great chef, Brian. 🥘🥘

Once again you’re a culinary genius and thanks for unlocking the magic of the oven! The recipe made a ton of sauce so I froze half. After bringing it back from the frozen tundra in a saucepan on the stove, I can say you’re recipe tastes as excellent as the day I made it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I balked at the idea of baking the meat on a sheet pan until I tried it in Brian’s “dope chili” recipe. That technique elevated my chili to a level I didn’t think I could achieve. Won me the chili cook off at work :) I’m sure this bolognese is gonna be legit when I get around to making it. Thanks, brother. Keep ‘em coming.

i'm literally in love with your channel i can't stop binging your videos

Hey Bri,
Been watching your channel for about 8 months now! I have tried quite a few recipes now. The videos are easy to follow and production is well done. Between the chapters in the video and the recipe in the description it is so easy to follow along.

This is such a great sauce! We made it, it ran out, and I started planning to make it again. We had regular, bland (easy) pantry spaghetti sauce another night and it was sooooo disappointing. Thanks for this tasty recipe!

I always learn so much watching your videos! Thank you! You’re amazing and I can’t wait to make this!
