Add beef, pork and pancetta; cook and finely crumble until meats are browned and cooked through (8-10 min.). Drain fat as much as desired. Stir in salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, oregano, parsley and sugar. Increase heat to medium-high. Add wine; cook until nearly evaporated (1-2 min.). Add stock and milk; cook until reduced by nearly ½, stirring constantly (about 4 min.). Add tomatoes and sauce; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick (1 ½-2 hrs.).
