- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 pound Italian sausage
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 3/4 cup red wine
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 (14.5 oz can) Muir Glen Diced Tomatoes

Method
Step 1
Drizzle a Dutch oven with olive oil and bring up to medium heat.
Step 2
Add chopped carrots, celery and onion and sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the tomato paste and dried oregano and stir the paste into the oil for another minute.
Step 5
Add the ground sausage and ground beef and use a sturdy spoon to break up the meat. Continue cooking the ground meat until caramelized and there is a nice char on the meat and until the meat is cooked through.
Step 6
Pour the red wine in and use a sturdy spatula to scrape any meaty bite from the bottom and allow the wine to reduce for 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Once the wine is reduced, pour the milk in and give everything a stir, so the milk reduces slightly and creates a creamy texture.
Step 8
Add Muir Glen diced tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Give the sauce a good stir and let simmer for 20-30 minutes until thickened.
Step 9
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and roll out each of the pizza doughs to a 10-12 inch circle.
Step 10
Once the sauce has thickened, spread ½-3/4 cup worth of sauce onto the dough and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 11
Place the pizza onto a pizza stone or baking sheet and cook the pizza until the crust is perfectly golden brown and cheese has melted, about 7-8. Minutes.
Step 12
Once done, remove from the oven and finish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
