This was really good and didn't take long to make at all. I added some garlic and basil to the meatballs. I transferred this to a dutch oven when the meatballs were browned. I had to add about 3/4 cup of water, my sauce had really reduced down. Also I made some rice to serve with it (my husband really likes rice with his meals). This was very tasty. Thanks. -
What a delicious stew. I used ground Lamb instead of Beef, found that I only had 1 can tomato sauce, so I used 1/4 cup catsup and some of the tomato sauce in the maeatballs, used the rest of the tomato sauce in the stew along with a cup of V-8 juice, this worked out great. Also added 1 teaspoon Real Beef Base(in a jar) and about 1/8 teaspoon pepper flakes for a little Zip. Thank you Trisha, love the recipe. Next Time i will make sure I have the 2 cans tomato sauce.
