Meatballs & Spaghetti Sauce

From your great-great Auntie S.

Meatballs
1# hamburger
1/2# pound Italian sausage
1/3 C. bread crumbs
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dried basil
1 medium onion, diced
1 egg
1/3 C. grated Parmesan cheese
2 T. water, or as needed
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper

Combine all ingredients, using just enough water to moisten the mixture.
Shape into meatballs, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.
Place in large skillet with a light coating of oil. Cook on both sides until browned, about 20 minutes.
Drain off on plate lined with paper towels.

Spaghetti Sauce
1 can tomato paste
2 cans tomato soup
1 sm. can mushrooms, chopped fine
2 T. parsley flakes
1/2 tsp. garlic ( 1 clove)
1/4 tsp. green peppers, chopped
1 small onion, diced

Brown onion, mushrooms, and green pepper in meatball fat.
Add remaining ingredients and pour over meatballs + simmer slowly for 30 mins.
And, the specific note on the ancient recipe card reads: pour over cooked long spaghetti on plate when served.
