Heat sauce contents gently to medium heat then start adding teaspoon sized meatballs. (you will likely need 2 large pots.)
3
Once you're finished adding meatballs, heat through for probably 45-60 minutes at med-low heat.
4
These meatballs freeze very well, in bags or plastic ware. Spinach (frozen or fresh) makes a really nice addition whether fresh or while you are reheating the meatballs.
5
