Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Ground Beef (I prefer to get extra lean)
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • 2 cans Tomato Sauce 28 oz. each
  • 1 tbsp Hot Sauce
  • 1 cup Panko Crumbs (I use gluten free)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 Peppers
  • 1 tbsp low sodium Soy Sauce
  • 4 cup low sodium Vegetable/Chicken Broth
  • 1 glug Seltzer (about 1.5 tbsp.)
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Slice the onions and put them in a 8-quart pot with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. While they are sautéing, dice up your garlic and throw it in.
  • Slice the peppers and add them to the pot. Keep stirring and leave it on a medium to low flame.
  • After 7 minutes add the cans of tomato sauce, soy sauce, hot sauce and broth. Let that cook for 20-30 minutes.
  • In the meantime mix the ground beef with the panko crumbs, eggs, dash of s&p, and the seltzer. Form into balls.
  • When the tomato sauce is ready - add the meatballs to the sauce.
  • Let cook for 15 minutes
  • Cool completely before freezing
