Step 1
Heat 5-quart stock pot over medium-high heat until hot. Add pancetta; cook 4 to 7 minutes to release fat. Add onions, celery and carrots; cook 8 to 10 minutes until most of the moisture has evaporated. Add Ground Beef, breaking into small crumbles; cook 8 to 10 minutes. Add wine to pot; cook 1 to 2 minutes and stir until browned bits attached to pot are dissolved and wine has evaporated. Stir in 1-1/4 cups broth and tomato paste; reduce heat to low. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place eggplant slices on shallow-rimmed baking sheet-lined with parchment paper. Season eggplant with remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow moisture release. Pat dry both sides with paper towel. Season eggplant with pinch of black pepper, as desired. Bake at 350°F for 20 to 35 minutes until eggplant skin is soft.

Step 3
Stir milk into beef mixture; cover and simmer 20 to 30 minutes until milk is absorbed. Add remaining stock to thin, if needed. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, as desired.
