Fat Yummy Meatballs

Meatballs:

1lb ground meat

3/4 c crushed croutons

1/4 c fresh chopped parsley

1 garlic clove, chopped

1 beaten egg (or just squished with your hand into the meat :)

1/4 c italian dressing

1/2 c crumbled feta

1/2 fresh shredded parmesean cheese

1 tbsp butter
olive oil
________________________________

Sauce:

Jar of Spaghetti sauce

1 can diced tomatoes

italian spice

garlic powder

onion powder

red pepper flakes




Mash all ingredients above line, except oil and butter together and form into racket ball sized balls. Drizzle olive oil and butter in sauce pan. Roll meatballs around pan for 15 minutes over medium heat.

Honestly I was kind of faking the meatballs and didnt think about the sauce, so I kind of threw it together while the meatballs were cooking. BUT it turned out pretty good. I added a jar of my fav spaghetti sauce and a can of diced tomatoes, garlic powder, italian spice, and onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Let it simmer with meatballs 5 more minutes, until it was warmed through. It was a very simple tomato sauce, but went really well with the meatballs. The red pepper flakes were a favorite ingredient of mine:) Serve over pasta and with fresh Parmesean cheese.
