Lazy Man's Soutzoukakia ( a Greek Style Bolognese) image

I love soutzoukakia, which are Greek meatballs heavy in red wine, garlic and cumin cooked in a red sauce. But sometimes on a busy weeknight, I just don't have the time. I came up with this recipe to satisfy my cravings when time is short. I use a store bought sauce cause of time, but feel free to substitute your own sauce recipe.

I made this recipe in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just browned the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. It was so easy and the meatballs were so tender.

I'm not a fan of tomatoes, so I made this recipe with a white sauce instead. It was still really good! The meatballs were still tender and flavorful.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with lentils instead of ground beef. It was still really good! The lentils added a nice texture to the meatballs.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ground beef. I made it with some leftover steak and it was delicious. The sauce is really versatile, too. I've also used it with chicken and pork.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs turned out a little dry. I think I'll add some more olive oil next time.
