LAZY MAN'S SOUTZOUKAKIA ( A GREEK STYLE BOLOGNESE)
I love soutzoukakia, which are Greek meatballs heavy in red wine, garlic and cumin cooked in a red sauce. But sometimes on a busy weeknight, I just don't have the time. I came up with this recipe to satisfy my cravings when time is short. I use a store bought sauce cause of time, but feel free to substitute your own sauce recipe.

SOUTZOUKAKIA - GREEK SMYRNA MEATBALLS IN SAUCE
I found a couple of recipes for this Greek dish and liked several things about both recipes, so I used the one with less ingredients and added some ingredients from the other recipe to increase the flavor.

SOUTZOUKAKIA- MINI GREEK MEATBALLS
This is my husband's favorite dish! Most of the recipes call for pan frying before baking but I find that the meatballs soak up the tomato sauce better and are juicer this method. Serve as an appetizer or as a main course with pasta. Delicious!!!
