This has been in the family for 4 generations. It has different variations depending on which side of the family makes the meal. This is the Jeannette side's version (with a few minor changes and additions from me) which I personally believe is the best.
Meatballs:
Mix the oatmeal in a small bowl with water to soften it. Mix the meats, egg, wet oatmeal, oregano, basil, garlic salt, onion salt and parmesan cheese together in a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix the ingredients adding a slight bit of water to make the mixture pasty and a little wet. Roll out some wax paper to set the meatballs onto before frying. Make medium size balls from the mixture with your hands then flatten a little as you set them on the wax paper. Should make approximately 20 meatballs. Once all the meatballs are made, place them carefully into a electric fry pan with a tablespoon of olive oil heated to 325 degrees. As they begin to cook turn them so that all sides cook evenly. You may have to do two batches depending on the size of your frypan. Confirm that they are cooked through (after about 10 minute). Place the fried meatballs in simmering Spaghetti sauce and let simmer for at least 45 minutes or longer (below). When ready to serve, remove the meatballs and place on a platter adding a small amount of sauce over the top.
Spaghetti Sause:
Poor the tomato juice, tomato paste, tomato sauce spices sugar, parmesan cheese and red wine into large kettle. Bring to a boil then turn to simmer. Let cook down for 3 hours. Add meatballs for last hour and remove to serve.
