Many versions of this recipe exist out there, but this is a 4-2 recipe as well. In this recipe I was looking to use up some frozen meatballs we have had sitting around for a long time.

12 medium frozen meatballs
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup sauerkraut
1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
1/2 yellow onion
