Instructions
Cook bacon in a large stockpot over medium heat. Remove once crispy, then crumble and set aside.
Add in beef, sausage, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, basil, Italian seasoning, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Cook, breaking up the meat as you go, until the meat has cooked through and the carrots are cooked to your liking, about 10 minutes.
Drain grease.
Return stockpot to the stove, and deglaze with the red wine.
Stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and crumbled bacon.
Bring to a simmer, stirring regularly.
Once simmering, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Stir in balsamic vinegar. Taste and re-season if necessary.
