My Grandma's Famous Carbonara Sauce image

My Grandma called this "spaghetti hot dish" and traditionally served it on New Years Day when I was a kid. I call it "out of this world". There are no eggs in this dish but I think the bacon drippings more than make up for it! Not for the every day diet, VERY RICH, but oh so good!

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • SAUCE:.
  • Fry bacon til cooked, not quite crisp. Add bacon and drippings (yes, drippings!) to above ingredients and simmer for a couple hours.
  • MEATBALLS:.
  • add milk to bread to make a mush, add all other ingredients ane form into meatballs.
  • Brown in a fry pan, and put into sauce to continue cooking. Add to sauce, and meatballs will cook thru when you are simmering for a couple hours. I have also cooked in a crock pot for 4-6 hours on high with great results.
