How To Make saucey meatballs
-
1Tear the bread into small pieces and place in a medium bowl. Pour milk over the bread to just coat it. Set aside.
-
2In a large sauce pan, combine all of the sauce ingredients. Heat over a medium heat. Once the sauce begins to bubble slightly, reduce heat to low.
-
3Combine the beef, red pepper, onion and garlic in a large bowl. Squeeze out 90% of the milk from the bread and transfer to beef bowl. Stir/mash to combine. Form 1-2 inch in diameter meatballs.
-
4Heat a medium to large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and place 6-8 meatballs in the pan. Brown the meatballs on all sides, then transfer to sauce. Repeat with remaining balls.
-
5Once all the balls are in the sauce, let them cook on low for up to 30 minutes, gently stirring occasionally.
-
6Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. NOTE: You may substitute the sugar and cream with Coconut milk as well for a slightly healthier version.
