Italian Sloppy Joe Sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 450 g of ground beef tenderloin
• 225 g of minced pork
• 225 g of minced veal
• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 2 crushed cloves of garlic
• 1 medium onion, diced

Preparation:

1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground beef, pork, and veal and cook until no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl, reserving any juices and fat in the Dutch oven.
2. In a Dutch oven, sauté the garlic and onion with Italian seasoning, stirring frequently to prevent burning. When the onion is translucent, add the meat back and add the wine to deglaze. Add the tomatoes and milk and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
