If you can’t keep a secret, stop reading NOW!

 

Thinking about all of you up North
When it’s a bit chilly here (Miami)
Hey …it’s all relative!
Darling Husband will be in the mood for some hearty comfort food
NOT the type of food I cook down here!
Serious kitchen time …
If it isn’t Friday … that’s just not happening.

 

Lazy Girl Italian Meatballs is the perfect win-win … super easy and hits the spot on our colder days …so good I make it on repeat during Miami winters even if it isn’t “freezing“! It’s our favorite and will become your family favorite as well! Enjoy!

Ingredients

Sauce

  • 2 24 ounce jars marinara sauce, low everything preferred

  • splash of pizza sauce (optional)

  • bit of balsamic vinegar

  • oregano

  • garlic powder

  • black pepper

  • chili powder

  • bay leaf

  • pepper flakes (optional)

Meatballs

  • 2 pounds chopped meat

  • 1 teaspoon oregano

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 egg with 2 tablepoons water, beaten

  • small grated onion; lazy mode – skip

  • handful panko crumbs or other

Optional add-ins

  • roasted vegetables – tomatoes, peppers, zucchini

  • pastrami ends

Directions

Prepare the Meatballs

1.

Combine sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer on a low flame (or your kitchen will be redecorated with tomato splatters!) Simmer for a few minutes; you may need to cover the pot.

2.

While the sauce is coming together, combine meatballs ingredients and very lightly mix together; don’t overmix or you won’t have soft meatballs.

3.

After sauce has simmered for a few minutes, incorporate add-ins and simmer a few minutes more.

4.

Gently form small/medium meatballs and add to the sauce.

5.

Cook covered, on a low simmer for approximately 60 minutes.

Notes:

Serve alone, with rice, pasta, spaghetti squash, shirataki noodle.
Spicy profile: serve w/red pepper flakes.
Freezer friendly, flavors deepen!
But you ain’t gonna have any left!
