DELICIOUS ITALIAN MEATBALLS SIMMERED IN SAUCE - MOMMY'S BEST!



Delicious Italian Meatballs Simmered in Sauce - Mommy's Best! image

easy and good - you can use any italian red sauce ( ready made or your own )for simmering -- i have used shallots instead of the onions with great results. Have the sauce simmering before you make the meatballs-it comes out better also-test the consistency of the raw meat before you shape the meatballs-the mix should be soft but it should hold together well in your hand. My kids, little and big, beg me to make this-there are never any leftovers!
