List of Ingredients
Sauce:
2 diced onions
2 cups white sugar
Juice of 2 fresh lemons
2 small cans tomato sauce
Appetizer meatballs:
2 beaten eggs
2 slices dried toast or bread, crumbled into small pieces
1 1/2 to 2 pounds ground beef
1/4 pound ground pork
1/2 to 1 envelope Lipton's dry onion soup mix (we use 1/2)
Salt and pepper to taste
Tomato juice (1 to 1 1/2 cup)
Recipe
Sauce: Cook onions and sugar together at medium high temperature. Sugar will melt and then caramelize. Add lemon juice and tomato sauce. Simmer together for 20 to 25 minutes.
Meatballs: Mix together until lightly blended eggs, crumbled toast, ground beef and pork, dry onion soup mix, salt and pepper. Add enough tomato juice to make a very moist mixture. Shape into 1-inch meatballs.
Drop uncooked meatballs into simmering sauce and cook until done, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove meatballs; set aside. Chill sauce; remove fat. Combine with meatballs; freeze if desired. When ready to use, simmer in sauce until they're heated through.
