MEATBALLS
2 lb ground beef
3/4 c oatmeal, uncooked

2 large eggs
1/2 large onion diced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 c flour
SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

  • 1. Meat balls..... In a Large bowl, add all ingredients together MINUS the flour. Start cooking your bacon, on a stove top, med. heat untill bacon is crispy, save grease, you will need this to cook your meatballs in. **I use my hands to mix the ingredients evenly,and roll into balls, the size of golf balls, and roll in flour. ** Add to bacon grease and cook till brown on all sides.
  • 2. While cooking meatballs, start your sauce. In a large boiling pan, bring All ingredients together, adding cooked bacon as well **chop up bacon into chunks** and add to the sauce. Simmer on low-med for about 45 to an hour, stirring continuously.Add meatballs to sauce once all browned. the meatballs with soak in all the juices.
  • 3. Boil 16-18oz of spaghetti noodles. follow package directions. drain noodles once done,plate and serve. I hope you will find my grandmother Anderson's Spaghetti and meatballs your new favorite spaghetti from here on out. ** Double the sauce if you like more sauce than meatballs**, Always better to have more sauce than not enough, incase you really love it. My kids LOVE this recipe, they wont eat any other kind of spaghetti, When I made this for the first time for my husband, I was so neverous, but, he took one bite, and got up from the table and came over and gave me a big kiss, and said, " it is different, but i like it, it kinda taste's like a sweet BBQ sauce" and he's been hooked ever since. Like I said, it does taste alittle different at first, but DON'T give up on it, Its even better the next day :) Enjoy~ and P.S. Don't forget the garlic bread :D

GRANDMA MARONI'S MEATBALLS AND MARONI SAUCE 100 YEAR OLD RECIPE



Grandma Maroni's Meatballs and Maroni Sauce 100 Year Old Recipe image

I found this recipe on the Food Network website on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. It is from Maroni Cuisine in Northport, New York. I saw the episode and was inspired to make the meatballs. Boy am I glad I did. They are so good! Truly the best meatballs I have ever eaten. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/throwdown-with-bobby-flay/grandma-maronis-meatballs-100-year-old-recipe-recipe/index.html The original recipe uses ounces-I have somewhat converted it into teaspoons and cups. (Hopefully I have done it correctly, but it tastes good too with my measurements!)
