how to make tinklees spaghetti and italian meatballs

for sauce

brown the meat for the sauce in a large sauce pan, once almost done, add your sliced mushrooms and cook till meat is done and mushrooms have cooked down some

with pan on med-low add one can of tomatoe sauce, then add your spices, this will help for a better blending

add the rest of the tomato sauce and canned tomatoes(juice included), simmer until your meatballs are done

for meatballs

preheat oven to 400°F. Add the pound of ground beef and sweet sausage to a nice size bowl,

add the spices, bread crumbs, eggs, milk and shredded parmesan cheese, mix gently as you mix it all together

spray or grease a pan (I used a 9x13) form into balls staying the same size, I made ones 1-1/2" and it made 35, And bake for about 50-70mins (this really depends on the size you make your meatballs)

when meatballs are done remove from pan and place in sauce, for best results let meatballs cook for 30mins, then start your noodles, follow package directions

serve mixed together or separate, enjoy
