•

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup finely chopped baby carrots
•

1 onion, finely chopped
•

2 cloves garlic, minced
•

1 pound lean ground beef
•

1.5 cups whole milk, divided

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, onion, and garlic; sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir, breaking up the meat as it cooks, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off excess fat from the skillet.
Pour in 1 cup milk and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until milk is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Transfer beef mixture to a slow cooker and set to High. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cover and cook for 2 hours. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk and Parmesan cheese until well combined; continue to cook for 2 more hours.
