Grandma's Spaghetti and Meatballs image

My father's mother (grandma anderson) gave me my very own cookbook of the families recipes when I graduated high school. And I was tickled pink when I saw I had received the famous Spaghetti and meatballs recipe. I love this dish more than any other dish, on my father's side of the family. And, it tastes better the next day,after...

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 20

MEATBALLS
2 lb ground beef
3/4 c oatmeal, uncooked
3/4 c milk
2 large eggs
1/2 large onion diced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 c flour
SPAGHETTI SAUCE
6-8 slice bacon
1/2 large onion diced **note i use one large onion for the entire recipe, and use half in meatballs, and the other half in my sauce**
4 can(s) 10.75 oz of tomato soup
3 c water
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
8 Tbsp sugar
8 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp ground oregano
AND 16-18 OZ OF SPAGHETTI NOODLES-BOILED

Steps:

  • 1. Meat balls..... In a Large bowl, add all ingredients together MINUS the flour. Start cooking your bacon, on a stove top, med. heat untill bacon is crispy, save grease, you will need this to cook your meatballs in. **I use my hands to mix the ingredients evenly,and roll into balls, the size of golf balls, and roll in flour. ** Add to bacon grease and cook till brown on all sides.
  • 2. While cooking meatballs, start your sauce. In a large boiling pan, bring All ingredients together, adding cooked bacon as well **chop up bacon into chunks** and add to the sauce. Simmer on low-med for about 45 to an hour, stirring continuously.Add meatballs to sauce once all browned. the meatballs with soak in all the juices.
  • 3. Boil 16-18oz of spaghetti noodles. follow package directions. drain noodles once done,plate and serve. I hope you will find my grandmother Anderson's Spaghetti and meatballs your new favorite spaghetti from here on out. ** Double the sauce if you like more sauce than meatballs**, Always better to have more sauce than not enough, incase you really love it. My kids LOVE this recipe, they wont eat any other kind of spaghetti, When I made this for the first time for my husband, I was so neverous, but, he took one bite, and got up from the table and came over and gave me a big kiss, and said, " it is different, but i like it, it kinda taste's like a sweet BBQ sauce" and he's been hooked ever since. Like I said, it does taste alittle different at first, but DON'T give up on it, Its even better the next day :) Enjoy~ and P.S. Don't forget the garlic bread :D

This recipe is a keeper! The meatballs were so flavorful and moist, and the sauce was rich and delicious. I served it over spaghetti, but it would also be great with other pasta shapes or even rice.
