America is in love with sandwiches.  Something to eat that in essence is meat and cheese mostly packed between two pieces of bread that won’t get your hands dirty.  A meal that can be consumed sitting down or on the go. To be taken to work or ordered at a deli.

Sometimes, after Thanksgiving, there are some leftovers that just keep going uneaten.  Sure the turkey is the first to go, or the meat and bones are frozen for a soup later in the year. And the stuffing is not forgotten as lunches are made with the rest of the green beans and gravy works as a sauce for just about anything. 

Growing up, I was a cake kid.  My mom would make cakes from the box, mostly Duncan Hines, but she would make her own frosting from butter and powdered sugar.  This tasted like pure fuel and gave any kid the energy they needed to party.  It was simple, it got the job done, and it was very very sugary.

Welcome to the world of a bolognese. 
This is a pasta sauce that should scream I have been simmering for hours. All day while the family went out to work or socialize.  I am still amazed at how this dish is prepared because it seems counterintuitive.
