How To Make bolognese sloppy joe's (two for one recipe)

• 
  Step 1
  MAKING THE SAUCE
• 
  Step 2
  Gather all your ingredients
• 
  Step 3
  Chef's Tip: If you're not a big fan of grating, you can use your food-processor with the grating attachment to do the job for you.
• 
  Step 4
  Place the two oils in a large skillet over medium heat.
• 
  Step 5
  When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 8 minutes.
• 
  Step 6
  Add the garlic, basil, and oregano, and continue to cook for about 2 minutes.
• 
  Step 7
  Add the beef and sausage, and cook until the meat loses its pink color, about 5 minutes.
• 
  Step 8
  Add the tomato sauce and puree, salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat for an additional 5 minutes.
• 
  Step 9
  Chef's Tip: Italian sausage can be a bit on the greasy side. If you want to reduce that grease, simply put a doubled-over paper towel on top of the sauce (as it is simmering), and the paper towel will pick up a good portion of that grease. You might need to do it more than once, depending on the amount of grease you want to remove.
• 
  Step 10
  Finally, add the butter, the wine, and the cheese.
• 
  Step 11
  Stir until the ingredients are incorporated into the sauce.
• 
  Step 12
  Lower the heat until the sauce is barely simmering, and then cover for 30 minutes.
• 
  Step 13
  Chef’s Note: During this time, taste, and add more salt, and/or pepper, if needed. Remember, season while cooking, not at the end.
• 
  Step 14
  Chef’s Note: At this point, you can stop, and you have an excellent Bolognese sauce, that will go great over pasta.

  Step 15
  MAKING THE SLOPPY JOE’S

  Step 16
  Slice open the buns, hoagies, or whatever you are using for your Sloppy Joe’s.

  Step 18
  Brush some melted butter on the cut side of the top half, and around the edges of the bottom half.

  Place a rack in the second to top position, and set your oven to broil.

  Step 20
  Add the Bolognese sauce to the bottom.
• 
  Step 21
  Add a generous portion of mozzarella to the top of the sauce.
• 
  Step 22
  Place in the oven, and broil until the cheese begins to bubble and brown, about 3 minutes.

  It should look something like this...
