Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ small Onion
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Garlic Salt
2 cans Progresso Crushed Peeled
Italian Tomatoes with Added
Puree - 28 oz cans
2 cans Tomato Sauce - 6 oz cans
3 pounds Hamburg
3 Eggs
½ cup Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon Oregano
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cans Tomato Paste - 6 oz cans
12 ounces Water
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper
Parsley
Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon Sweet basil
½ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Fine bread crumbs
½ cup Water

Directions

SAUCE

MEATBALLS

Sauce: Chop onion and saute in olive oil and garlic salt until golden. Do not burn. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 2 to 3 hours . Stir occasionally.

Add meatballs.

Meatballs: Mix all together lightly. Roll in hands into medium size balls. Drop into sauce and simmer for 4 to 5 hours stirring occasionally.

Hint.....3 lbs of hamburg makes a lot of meatballs, you may want to add one more of each of the canned stuff in the sauce recipe.

Do not let the sauce burn. I cook with a diffuser under my pan so I do not have to watch it so carefully. They work well.

Note: Sometimes, I also add Medium Hot Sausage (that has been cooked till the fat is out of them and drained well) at the same time I add the meatballs.

Enjoy
