derections:

place onions, celery, carrots, and garlic in a food processor or blender pulse all for a few times until  its kinda a paste but you can still see clumps 

in an 8-quart heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. then add the chopped veges and sweat them over medium heat(keep on medium dont go over) until they are translucent and soft but not brown at all shold take 10 mins

add the beef and pancetta and stir into the vegies then cook over high heat stir together to keep meat from sticking until browned

add the tomato paste,milk,wine,crush tomatoes,thyme, salt and pepper, and then this is the tricky part let it simmer over medium low heat for 2 hours also season with more and more salt and pepper to taste then remove from the heat
