Ingredients

Directions
For Meatballs, combine all meatball ingredients. Form into 1" meatballs. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet or sheets. Bake at 400 for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through.
For sauce, In a large kettle, combine all sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer. When meatballs are cooked add them to the sauce. Continue to simmer for another hour. I like to put them in the crock pot and cook on low for several hours. Makes about 20 cups of sauce.
