MAMA LEONE'S ITALIAN TOMATO SAUCE (GOOD FOR MANY USES)

Steps:

• Put all ingredients (except the meat and onions) in a large pot.
• Stir well and bring to a boil. Continue to stir occasionally until it boils, so the cinnamon is incorporated.
• Reduce to a simmer and cook for three to four hours. Continue to stir occasionally. You can speed up this step, if you leave it on a boil, but I think the flavour improves if it is not rushed.
• The sauce needs to cook until it bloops-namely until the sauce splashes out of the pot and makes a bit of a mess on the stove top (or wall in my case).
• Remove and discard the chillies and bay leaves.
• What to do next if you intend to serve this sauce over pasta. Saute the beef until it loses most of its pink colouring, then add the onions and saute until tender.
• Drain off any fat.
• Add meat mixture to cooked sauce and stir well.
• Heat the mixture well, then ladle over pasta.

MOTHER-IN-LAW'S BARBECUED MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Meatballs:.
• Mix ground beef, onion, egg, bread, oatmeal, milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• Roll into balls.
• Brown meatballs in a skillet; these are very moist meatballs, making them a bit tricky to brown in a skillet. I usually just push them around a bit and don't brown completely.
• Alternatively, meatballs could be browned briefly in the oven in a nonstick pan at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. Tthey don't need to be cooked through since they will be cooked in the sauce. I've never done it this way, so just watch them so they just brown rather than cook all the way and get dried out.
• Place browned meatballs in baking dish.
• Sauce:.
• Mix ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, mustard, water together.
• Pour sauce over meatballs.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until meatballs are cooked through, about 30 minutes.
• Serve over rice.
