Happy Appy Sauce n Meatballs
Back in the day at 130 Erie Street You could walk in and smell Grandma and Grandpa Appenheimer's scrumptious spaghetti sauce. Even better when you tasted how good the meatballs were! Hopefully this recipe does it justice.

Instructions
Step 1
Empty the cans of crushed tomatoes and puree into a large pot. Fill 2 of the cans with water and add to the pot.
Step 2
Put the whole, peeled onions in the pot with the sauce. (if you don't like them like that you can chop them up or cut them in half) Also, you can use more or less onions if you want.
Step 3
Add the sugar and the spices. (I usually just cover the top with each spice)
Step 4
Add the raw pork pieces. (You can use boneless pork ribs or any kind of pork with the fat trimmed)
Step 5
Start simmering on low while you make the meatballs
Step 6
Put the ground beef in a bowl with the two eggs and the breadcrumbs
Step 7
Add a small amount of the same spices that you put in the sauce
Step 8
Mix all together and form palm-sized meatballs, putting them raw into the sauce.
Step 9
Continue to simmer at a low boil for at least 4 hours, stirring frequently to make sure the bottom of the pot is not burning. If you feel the bottom of the pot is getting burnt, take it off the heat and put it in a different pot. Don't scrape the bottom of the pot because your sauce will taste burnt.
Step 10
Occasionally take a large spoon and skim off grease that rises to the top
Step 11
The sauce is even better when it sits in the fridge overnight.
Step 12
😋 ENJOY! 🎵 "ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI" 🎶
