2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces ground beef

1 (28-ounce) can tomato in thick purée, chopped
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup hearty red wine
2 teaspoons dried oregano

In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute. Add ground meat loaf combination (ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal). Cook, breaking up the meat into large chunks with a spoon, until seared, about 10 minutes.
