Directions:
Directions:
Puree the whole tomatoes or put them through a mill. Add remaining ingredients for the sauce. Bring to a boil while you mix the ingredients for the meatballs.
Use your own tastes for the unmeasured ingredients. I don't use the salt at all in this recipe. I use garlic powder instead of garlic salt.
Drop golf ball sized meatballs into the boiling sauce. When all the meatballs are added, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 3 hours. Stir several times.
Serve with thin spaghetti and garlic bread.

Personal Notes:
This one of Reba Alden's tried and true recipes. The only thing I left out was the dried green peppers in the meatballs. Much better without. I've added pieces of cooked italian sausage to this in addition to the meatballs. I also use about 1 tsp. dried basil in the sauce. This is my favorite sauce and I make it as often as possible. I use the meatball recipe and freeze them for another use. I believe Reba was given this recipe while she lived in Mount Carmel.
