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...

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

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 waste of time and money. The meatballs were tasteless and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe is way too complicated. I spent hours making it, and it wasn't even worth it. The meatballs were dry and the sauce was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my meatballs were dry and tough. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to the meatballs, and I also added some crushed tomatoes and red pepper flakes to the sauce. It was much better after I made those changes.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery to the sauce, and my kids didn't even notice. They loved the meatballs and the sauce, and they ate all of their vegetables.

This spaghetti and meatballs recipe is a great way to use up leftover meat. I made the meatballs with ground beef and pork, and they were so flavorful. The sauce was also very easy to make and it tasted great.
