1 Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup soft fresh breadcrumb
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon black pepper

1 canned diced tomato, divided 796ml
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Meatballs: Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C). Combine soup mix with egg, bread crumbs, basil, oregano, thyme and pepper. Crumble in beef and using your hands to gently combine. Form beef into 28 meatballs, each about 1-in (2.5 cm) in diameter. Set meatballs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, turning twice, or until cooked through. Transfer to an 8 cup (2 L) casserole dish.
  • Sauce: Place half the can of tomatoes in a blender and pulse until smooth. Blend in tomato paste, garlic and pepper. Stir in remaining diced tomatoes. Pour sauce mixture over the meatballs. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the centre of the dish for the last 5 minutes of baking. Serve with hot, cooked spaghetti.
