• Enro Gay's Version for a Family Gathering with her Gravy...
• Enro Gay... " Hello, Bob... the meatballs were a huge success. I reduced the recipe by using 4 pounds meat (2 ground beef, 1 veal and 1 pork sausage) and used dry Italian bread crumbs in place of day-old bread (and adjusting other ingredient amounts to match). Since these were made for homemade meatball subs, I made them much smaller and cooked them a short time in the oven before transferring to my slow cooker. "
• " I did not use your "gravy" as outlined above, but used this instead: "
• Small onion, fine chopped Small green pepper, fine chopped 2 cloves garlic, fine chopped 3 Tbsp EVOO 6 ounce tomato paste 1/4 cup dry red wine 3/4 cup chicken broth 2-15 ounce cans tomato sauce 1 tsp dried oregano 3/4 tsp dried basil 1 tsp sugar Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
• Saute onion and green pepper in EVOO for a couple minutes, add the garlic and cook another minute. Then add the tomato paste and wine, stirring for another minute or so. Then add the chicken broth, tomato sauce and spices, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for about 3 hours... YUMMY!
• " I made it the night before, then warmed in up, transferred sauce to the slow cooker and added the meatballs to simmer on low until we got ready to eat. I will make the dinner size meatballs next time and serve to my hubby with spaghetti, a favorite of his. Thanks for a wonderful meatball recipe! "
• " Absolutely... feel free! Even though the sauce and meatballs were sealed up in my locking-lid slow cooker, my mother and I could smell this during our 1.5 hour trip to see my son... just about drove us crazy! :-) "
• " Ummm.. Thank You again... it DOES have that quality!!! Lol!!! " HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY!!!!!!!
