Making Ragu Bolognese today. Got a few questions for y’all. What type of ground pork should I add along with the ground beef? Ground sausage or plain ground pork? Also would y’all add the small amount of cream or milk towards the end like some do. Apparently that splits opinions pretty much down the middle

Should use ground beef, ground pork and ground veal. The pork should be from the shoulder, not sausage.

Exactly what I use and it is great. Low and slow for hours to build those flavors.

Yes, use milk or cream 3/4 through.

Zero milk or cream for me. Now a rind of parmigiana reggiano? For sure.

The rind does something. I don't know what, but there is a reason they're sold on their own. I used pecorino, though.

Update: I really got into cooking about 7-8 years ango and I’ve been cooking 4-5 meals a week since then and this was one of this best meals I’ve be ever made. My goodness was the bolognese amazing. I’m not sure I can make a normal spaghetti sauce ever again even considering the time and effort difference.

The easiest way to make Bolognese is to follow the Stanley Tucci/Barabra Asoili demonstration 10 Minute Bolognese which can be found under 'Chewing the Fat" website. I saw it on his TV Show highlighting Italian Cooking throughout Italy. It takes about an hr to make....veal, pancetta, butter, veal stock, onions, celery and carrots, nutmeg, flour ..no tomatoes and no beef or pork...you serve this with fresh homemade pasta and you will impress a lot of people with this dish...

I get my meats for this from Whole Foods.
Lean ground beef and their loose mild ground Italian sausage. I always throw in some parmigiana reggiano.
