Hotel Room Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs
Submitted by: MRSHONEYCIntroduction
I use as LITTLE canned products as possible, and add NO SALT to my meals - we're watching hubby's high b/p - so YOU may opt to add salt, but all my meals are perfectly tasty once you break that sodium addiction. You can actually TASTE the veggies!I use an electric skillet and crock-pot when having to live in hotel rooms for weeks on end, but you can use a stove top as well :0) I use as LITTLE canned products as possible, and add NO SALT to my meals - we're watching hubby's high b/p - so YOU may opt to add salt, but all my meals are perfectly tasty once you break that sodium addiction.

Ingredients
3 cups chopped/cubed roma tomatoes
1 medium sized zucchini (about 1-1/4 cups chopped)
3/4 cup chopped white onion
half green pepper (about 1/2 cup, chopped)
1 small can tomato paste (about 12 Tbsp. or 1/2 cup)
1/2 pound 93% lean ground turkey
1/2 pound 93% lean ground beef
1 tsp dry italian seasoning
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp minced garlic
1/8 tsp ground marjoram
1/8 tsp ground cumin
1 cup burgundy wine
Directions
Use non-stick spray in crock-pot and begin to cook fresh tomatoes on high for about an hour. You can opt to "mash" them slightly at this point, or leave them with a bit of shape to them (I mashed them up today!)
Add remaining veggies and 1 small can tomato paste (NOT flavored paste) and cook another hour on high.
Mix together meats and spices - roll into desired meatball sizes (mine came out to 21 meatballs). Spray electric skillet with non-stick spray and brown meatballs on all sides.
Add meatballs to veggies in crock-pot. Stir gently and let simmer on low for 4 hours, adding additional spices as desired. (I LOVE garlic, so I put like 2 Tablespoons more in my sauce.)
Stir in 1 cup burgundy wine and simmer on low/warm an additional hour. (CAN be omitted, but will lack some flavor - it will NOT make you "drunk" as the alcohol cooks off in the heat)
Serving size = 7 meatballs plus sauce.
GREAT with Whole Wheat pasta or even over brown rice!
