Here’s what you will need: 

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 tsp parsley
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb ground sausage
• 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1 large onion (chopped)
• 1 medium green pepper (chopped)
• 2 cans diced tomatoes (28oz ea, drained )
• 2 cans tomato sauce (8oz ea)
• 1 can beef broth
• 1 can tomato paste (6oz )
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tsp basil, oregano, parsley (each )
• spaghetti or other pasta

Step 1: Combine the first 6 ingredients. Add beef and mix well. 

Step 2: Shape into eight meatballs, brown on all sides over medium heat. Drain and set aside

Now at this point, you can simmer the meatballs until cooked through to your liking in your favorite sauce recipe or use my recipe that I use. 

Step 3: Cook sausage, onion, pepper, until tender. 

Step 4: In a large heavy pot, add sausage, vegetables, 1/2lb ground beef and  meatballs. 

Step 5: Add tomatoes, sauce, broth, paste, garlic and seasonings.

Step 6: Stir gently. Bring to a boil.

Step 7: Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 2-3 hours.

Serve your meatballs and sauce over your favorite pasta. Yes, spaghetti is classic, but I love this sauce served with rigatoni. Of course, a loaf of delicious bread is needed to mop up all of the delicious sauce.
