This is the best:
Finely chop 2 large onions, fry in sunflower oil, add 2 tbsps chopped garlic (I use English Provender Lazy Garlic)
1kg of best lean steak mince, brown, add red wine liberally throughout. A whole bottle of red wine goes into this meal.
1 jar of tomato puree, 1-2 cans of chopped tomatoes.
Now the good bit, the seasoning. Loads of oregano and basil, black pepper, cayenne pepper and paprika. Then the magic touch - ground cloves and cinammon. It will give you bad dreams, but it is worth it.
This makes about 4 large portions.
Serve with best red wine or very cold Budweiser.

Spag bol is very much an individual dish, and you make your favourite version by trial and error. I see nothing wrong with adding bacon at all.
Mine is simple. Supermarket mince cooked up and fat drained, couple of spoons of gravy mix to beef it up, jar of pasta sauce, with additions per jar if you want (ie garlic, mushrooms, etc etc), fresh mushrooms sliced, onions chopped, and a tin of toms. Once made up, I leave it in the slow cooker heating up, so all I have to do is cook the pasta. Bit of garlic bread as well and it's lovely.
Like I said tho, trial and error - you know what you like.

Well everyone thankyou for your replies. Whiffy ,My husband made a spag bol for our friends this evening and used your recipe without chilli ect. But he did put in the cinnamon but no cloves , my friend couldnt get over the fact he had used cinnamon.! But I must say it was really nice.I did also give him some green,yellow and red peppers to put in and the bacon.

For the best Bolognese sauce, try the following: Heat 4 tbsp of olive oil in pan, saute 1 finely chopped onion, 1 garlic and 4 rashers of bacon, 1 diced carrot and 1 diced celery till soft. Add 500g mince beef and cook till brown. Add 100ml red wine (optional) and cook till almost evaporated. Season. Add 100ml milk and cook till milk is absorbed. Add 400g can of tomatotes, 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp oregano. Reduce heat and simmer and cook, uncovered for at least 1 hour. Perfect meat sause for either bolognese or lasagne. ENJOY
