Directions: |
Directions:Gravy: Mix all ingredients in a large stock pot making sure tomato paste is well incorporated.
Heat to just barely bubbling and reduce IMMEDIATELY. Sauce is very quick to burn.
Simmer for at least one hour (partially covered by pot lid) but 2-3 hours is preferred.
Meatballs: Mix all ingredients by hand in a large mixing bowl. (If mixture appears too wet, add a small amount of seasoned breadcrumbs. Shape mixture into medium size balls (2 lbs. of meat should make 15-17 good size meatballs). Bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. After taking out of oven, blot with paper towels to remove grease. Add to gravy and complete cooking. |

Notes: Spices used are estimates - I make it slightly different each time - adjust the spices to suit your own tastes!!!
For those who need to know the difference between "sauce" and "gravy" - Gravy has meat in it (i.e. meatballs) and sauce does not.
