Instructions

  1. I add all ingrediants to a large stockpot, refill each tomatoe can with water, I prefer using spring water but u can use tap.I peel one white onion skin off.The add onion and remaining spices as follows from list above. Spices are to taste u may like spicier then I do so add and each time u make this it is always a tad different but so good. I cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. You can serve it after maybe 2 hrs as long as meatballs are cooked through. I cook my raw meatballs in the sauce along with cooked italian sausages. I use sweet italian and hot italian just cut different so u know which is which in sauce.I also add various meats that are from leftovers , such as steaks, and pork.The sauce tenderizes them:).U need to contantly stir the pot every 15 to 20 mins and use a cover cause it will spash over.be careful not to have meat stick to bottom or burn bottom of pan this will leave a burnt taste in whole sauce if u feel it sticking to bottom dont scape it from bottom but stir close enough to mix meat and sauce. I have made so many of these and maybe only once usually as leftovers have had it stick.just make sure u stir often.

Keep in refrigerator one week at top and freeze remaining in freezer containers or baggies. A wonderful meal to pull from freezer.
