Found on the back of

My sister Joan gave this recipe some 35 years ago. I’ve been making it ever since, so trust me it’s good. Believe it or not, I’ve never changed the recipe. It’s exactly as I wrote it down all those years ago. I still use that same recipe whenever I make this recipe. Joan found the recipe on the back of a jar of Prego Spaghetti Sauce .  Like I’ve always said, you can find some of the best recipes on the back of cans, jars, boxes and wrappers.

Recipe Tip:

Want to make a darn good meatball sub sandwich? You can make a second meal out of any left-over meatballs and sauce. Place warmed meatballs and some sauce on lightly buttered and toasted hoagie rolls, top with slices of mozzarella cheese, place back under the broiler and broil until cheese is melted. Serve meatball sub with warm spaghetti sauce.
