This is my first time making meatballs with tomato sauce; I usually make the sauce with wine and water. Since they turned out so delicious, I'll definitely make this recipe again. In the original recipe, María Elena ground the meat, prepared and baked the meatballs, but I bought them pre-made and browned them in the pot before making the sauce. They are super tasty!

Steps

50 minutes

1

Gather all the ingredients. Heat some olive oil in a pot over medium heat.
2

Open the package of meatballs, add them to the pot, and brown them on all sides.
3

While the meatballs are browning, peel and chop the garlic.
4

Once the meatballs are browned, remove them and set aside on a plate. Add the chopped garlic to the pot.
5

Next, peel and chop the onion. When the garlic is golden, add the onion to the pot.
6

Season with ground black pepper and salt to taste.
7

Rinse the bay leaves and add them to the pot.
8

Measure the wine, pour it into the pot, and cook for a few minutes to let the alcohol evaporate.
9

Open the can of crushed tomatoes and add them to the pot.
10

Stir well and add 1 teaspoon of sugar to reduce the acidity of the tomatoes.
11

Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomato reduces and thickens. This took about 20 minutes for me. After that, return the meatballs to the sauce.
12

Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
13

Plate and serve the meatballs with tomato sauce. This time, I served them with white rice and a piece of bread for dipping. Enjoy!
