My Grandma called this spaghetti hot dish and traditionally served it on New Years Day when I was a kid. I call it out of this world . There are no eggs in this dish but I think the bacon drippings more than make up for it! Not for the every day diet, VERY RICH, but oh so good! Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste |
2 tablespoons sweet basil |
1 tablespoon garlic, minced |
1 cup chopped onion |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1 lb bacon |
2 slices bread |
1/4-1/2 cup milk |
1 lb ground beef |
1 tablespoon sweet basil |
1 egg |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1 teaspoon garlic |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. SAUCE:.
2. Fry bacon til cooked, not quite crisp. Add bacon and drippings (yes, drippings!) to above ingredients and simmer for a couple hours.
3. MEATBALLS:.
4. add milk to bread to make a mush, add all other ingredients ane form into meatballs.
5. Brown in a fry pan, and put into sauce to continue cooking. Add to sauce, and meatballs will cook thru when you are simmering for a couple hours. I have also cooked in a crock pot for 4-6 hours on high with great results.
6. Serve over pasta of your choice.
7. My Grandama mixed 1 lb of cooked elbow noodles with this sauce and made it spaghetti hot dish .
