This requires few tools, a Crockpot, knives, cutting board. can opener etc. etc. . small electric chopper. magic bullet or the ultimate chopper can be used. WHAT? PORK RINDS YOU SAY. well my brother has celiac's no wheat. so i use them as the crumbs or sometimes just the parmsean to bind. . works like a charm.The fennel sausage is homemade by me. but sure you can find ground in your supermarket. anywhere or just use italian sweet tastes smiliar ;)

Recipe
MEATBALL MIXTURE:
1 step grind pork rinds in blender/or processor til they are a find
breadcrumb like consistency season with a pinch of sage and dried
basil.
crumble ground beef into mixing bowl , add porkrind mixture chopped
pepper and onions minced garlic , 2 eggs,salt and pepper to taste,
take a small splash of sauce outta one of the jars of sauce ,dash
or
so of grated parm cheese,dash of olive oil. now the messy and fun
icky gooey part take the utensils god gave you/your hands :)
and mix the meat all together. then form you're
desired sized meatballs i tend to make them a bit on the big side.
Add meatballs to crockpot.
then form the fennel sausage into small meatballs also. I used a
homemade sausage made from a lb of boneless porkchops fennel seed,
sage and thyme ground them up onto the quad blade food processor
and
made my own.. you can buy what you want probably bout a 1lb. add
those little sausage balls to the crockpot.
then the three jars of sauce
add the porcinis after rehydrating them for a few minutes in hot
water. a little trick add some of that water to the sauce too dash
of
the water you rehydrated them in..
add the canned mushrooms also, and a few of the chopped pappers and
onions if you have any leftover from the meat mixture.
add the pepperoni slices desired amount of them i tend to um use
just the handfull or maybe few more then that. cause if tends to
make
the sauce fatty otherwise and it will run over the sides of the
crockpot making a nasty mess,
then add in diced romas i use just two you might want a extra or
so,
add a few spinkles of fennel seed, a pinch or less of red chilli
flakes*ididn't list them in the ingredients as of some peeps might
not want them in there,. and on top last but not least drizzle a
tiny
little bit of olive oil.. gives it that extra italian zing makes my
sauce excellent..
set crockpot on high should take probably 6-8 maybe turn down later
in the day.. makes a lovely sauce. :)
serve over hot spaghetti noodles or the noodles of you're liking
hey a
etra hint this sauce make great meatball heros/subs try it like
that
too if you like .
Bon Appetit eat and enjoy :)
