Notes:
-i added a can of crushed tomatoes too for more sauce
-i don't know what pancetta is so i didn't use it
-to save time,i cooked my beef in a large frying pan while cooking the veggies in another,then transferred it all to a large pot when i was ready to add the tomatoes,etc.
-if you work at bionic woman speed like i did,you can have it thrown together in 30 minutes and ready to simmer
