Spaghetti and Meatballs

I love spaghetti and meatballs, this recipe is my mom's and I won't eat anyone's but hers. For me nothing compares and I am a picky eater. I have made some changes to her original recipe.

2 large cans Hunts Tomato Sauce

1 medium can Hunts Tomato Sauce

Garlic Powder

Oregeno

Place all this in a pot bring to a boil and simmer for 2 hours.

Meatballs

3 pounds ground chuck

1 egg

salt and pepper to taste

garlic powder

parmesan cheese

I don't measure it's more a sight thing for me but I do put in at least 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese in the meatballs.

Mix this all together and form meat into meatball. I don't make them too big as I want them to be throughly cooked.

Fry the meatballs in a pan browning on all sides. Hubby likes them well browned.

Add to sauce and cook for at least 2 hours.

Make your favorite spaghetti according to the package directions.

We like garlic bread with our spaghetti. It's a simple recipe but I have had this since I was a kid and my kids love it. Hubby too.

I always just ground my beef or turkey and never make the balls...I think the kids might like the balls, and this looks easy enough...thanks for sharing. :)

Thanks Tropica, the hardest part of this is making the meatballs, once that is done it's easy the rest of the way.

I make my meat balls similar but I have never thought about putting the parm cheese in them. I bet that gives it a really good zip

Diane Huizenga Jan 29, 2011, 12:43pm UTC

It gives it a wonderful flavor try it sometime Angela, thanks.

I am usually too lazy to make meatballs...but you've got me inspired!

Alison H. Jan 29, 2011, 2:20pm UTC

Don't forget to put more tags on your article such as "hunts tomato sauce" and "the best spaghetti and meatballs recipe" and things like that, as this will bring up more attention from the internet.

Diane Huizenga Jan 29, 2011, 9:15pm UTC

Ok I will do that right now Alilson and thanks so much.
