This recipe is courtesy of my dear friend Sarah. This is a family recipe from her Dad. Sooo delicious!!
1 1/2 lbs ground beef ( I also use turkey-- but try to get it 85% lean, or it will end up tasting like a hockey puck)
1 egg
2 slices of bread (make breadcrumbs in a mini-chop or blender)
Spices: salt, pepper, onion powder, oregano-- about 1 TSP each
2 or 3 TBSP grated cheese
2 or 3 garlic cloves minced
Make meatballs from the above.
2 garlic cloves minced
enough oil to cover bottom of large pan
Saute garlic in olive oil until soft-- Add meatballs and brown slowly over medium heat-- turn to keep them round. Don't overcook!
Add to pot:
1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
1 28 oz. can of tomato puree
1 or 2 TBSP sugar ( I usually use 1 and taste later to see if it needs more)
1 TSP of the above spices (salt, pepper, onion powder, oregano)
I also add a generous slosh of red wine
Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 2 hours.
