Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl add grated onion, garlic, egg, parmesan cheese, 1tablespoon Mariana sauce, ketchup, breadcrumbs, oregano, parsley and some salt and pepper and mix well to combine.

3. Next roll mixture into balls and sauté with olive oil over medium meat until browned on all sides.
4. Next, add them to homemade or a good healthy marinara sauce and finish cooking them in the sauce but you can just finish cooking them on the stove top if needed ( the longer they simmer in the sauce the better so I leave them on a few hours :)
