INGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds meat: Meatball mix. Usually a three meat blend. ; If you can’t get that use a 50/50 blend of pork and beef.
- ½ cup minced onions
- ½ cup Chopped parsley
- ½ cup Fresh bread crumbs
- ½ cup Romano cheese
- 2 beaten Eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- THE SAUSAGE
- 1 pound sweet or fennel Italian sausage
- 1 pound hot Italian sausage
INSTRUCTIONS
Add onions, carrots, garlic, tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, basil and oregano to a 6 quart crock pot. Turn to low for 8 hours. Add Meatballs and Sausage at about hour 4. At hour 6 add Romano cheese, Chianti wine and Italian Parsley.
The Sausage
On medium heat add 1.5 cups of water to a large pan. Slowly cook the sausage until most if not all the water has boiled off. I try to cut the sausage in different lengths to distinguish the different kinds. One inch pieces for hot….Two inch pieces for sweet or fennel. No surprises for those who don’t do spicy.
Be sure to cook the meats in the sauce. It makes the flavor. You can tinker with the flavor by adding red pepper flakes, more Romano cheese, wine or Italian seasoning.
