Easy SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE

This homemade recipe we've been making for years and was handed down to us by... someone. Adding smoked bacon is what gives it the (I'm doing the Italian kiss-fingertips-and-toss-away gesture), wonderful flavour! We sprinkled a bit of shredded mozzarella cheese on top for extra goodness!
