"this is my grandmother's recipe. It makes quite a bit, but she raised 6 kids. I half it to make it for my family. You may have to adjust the vinegar in the sauce to your taste."

• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 30-45 meatballs

ingredients

• 3 lbs ground beef

directions

1. Mix ground beef with next 7 ingredients. Roll into meatballs. Place on a cookie sheet and brown in oven @ 400 degrees for about 12 minutes to brown a little.
2. Prepare sauce (recipe begins with vinegar below meatball ingredients). When meatballs are done in oven, put them in a crock pot or dutch oven with sauce.
