I usualy make my Bolognese the traditional way, but tried this version a few nights ago, and the family just loved it. This is a quick and easy version and I might start making this a little more often now!

As someone who had both of his grandparents born in Naples, Italy, I can tell you not self respecting Italian would put many of these ingredients in a Bolognese sauce. Catsup? Oregano and not basil? I have less of a problem with the bacon but it still does not belong. I would not make this on a bet. Richie Fittipaldi

So good! Loved how easy it was. Didn't have the tomato soup so used a can of tomato sauce and a little Frank's hot sauce. I used ketchup. I also had a bunch of mushroom stems left from stuffed mushrooms, so I chopped those up with the onion in a food processor. Bet I could add carrots too for more veggies next time.
