Meatballs in Tomato Sauce Lena

Meatballs in Tomato Sauce Lena

• I love meatballs and I often make them, this is a recipe of my aunt and mom, so I will share it with you. They are very tasty, just to emphasize that when you make meat for meatballs, it is better to stand in the fridge for about 30 min. then you make meatballs. The mixture must be compact, if you find it quite gooey, feel free to add more pretzels. For these meatballs, I used mixed beef and pork, and for the tomato sauce, I used salsa tomatoes. Follow recipe.
