Directions

Lay bacon slices in a large pot and turn heat on to medium. Cook until fat has rendered, about 7 to 10 min. Remove and set aside. Add butter to pan.

Add tomatoes, beef broth, honey, Minced Garlic, herbs sachet, and bacon into pot. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until sauce is slightly thickened and tastes slightly sweet. Remove sachet and bacon and discard.
