Italian's Meatballs

Ingredients: Meatballs

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup water (more or less)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 medium onion
garlic
salt
pepper

Directions :
Mix all ingredients together. Don't add all of the water at one time. Mixture should be moist but not so that the meatballs fall apart.
Shape meatballs to desired size and place on a hot oil in a pan (I wet my hands before shaping each meatball and it helps make a nice meatball.) fried until outside is slightly brown on one side and then turn and fried the other side. put a side




Ingredients : Tomatoes sauce

2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon parsley
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese or romano cheese
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped

Directions
1Combine tomato products in large stock pot or dutch oven.
2Add a 28 ounce can of water and stir.
3Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
4Sprinkle with sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley and grated cheese and stir to combine.

Finishing :
In a frying pan, heat about 1/4" of vegetable oil and fry up your sausage or meatballs until cooked through.
Now, this is an important, not to be left out, step: Add chopped onions and garlic to pan that meat was fried in.
Do not drain anything before adding onions and garlic-- there should be some drippings/oil left in the pan!
Fry onions and garlic until tender and aromatic. cooks down and gets thick and rich.
Remove pan from heat.
