Mixing Meatballs and Sauce

Scott brought over some meatballs for dinner the other night. I said to him, "these are so freaking good, they are like mom's!...?" Who else can make something like you had in your childhood? He responded by saying "That's what I was trying to do!"


He left 5 behind for me (what was left), so what do you do when you get the gift of these glorious meatballs? You make more sauce and enjoy every bite just one more time.


Shopping List:

• Meatballs
• Half an onion chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic minced
• 7 large cremini mushrooms diced
• half a bay leaf
• 4 dashes of cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp of oregano
• 1 small can of tomatoes
• S&P

Putting it Together:

1. Start sizzling the onions in a pot or dutch oven
2. Add the mushrooms, as they start to golden up, add 3 cloves of garlic, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, and oregano.
3. Let that sizzle for about 3-4.5 minutes
4. Add the tomatoes and meatballs
5. Cook until the meatballs are warmed through and the hungry appetites can't wait any longer!

Notes:

- This is not overly simplified, it is really that good. 

- Add your own meatballs or precooked meatballs, either way it is going to be fast and delicious.
- Maybe Dave is right, we eat a lot of Italian, Mexican, and Chinese...
