Homemade Spaghetti Sauce & Meatballs image

Typical tomato-based spaghetti sauce, but it is sooo much better than prepared sauce, still very easy to make. The meatballs are the only time-consuming part and they need to simmer in the sauce all day to be exceptional. This recipe was given to me 10 years ago by my mother

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of extra seasonings to make it flavorful.
