Meatballs & String Beans Is the Greatest Recipe of All Time

By nancytripp

Ingredients

• a pound or so of mixed meats (we always bought “meatball mix” made from veal/beef/pork, a pound for every two people),
• an egg,
• grated Parm,
• some breadcrumbs—likely “seasoned.” Mix. Roll.
• one big onion,
• a clove of minced garlic,
• a green pepper (optional!),
• all sautéed.
• Add salt and white pepper.
• Maybe some crushed dried chile flakes. Then add about five pounds of peeled (not optional!) and chopped plum tomatoes.
• a few handfuls of trimmed string beans

Preparation

Step 1

First: Make meatballs.
Meanwhile, make a sauce
Cook on medium-high for a bit, then bring down to a simmer, add meatballs, partially cover. Cook for 30 minutes.
Add a few handfuls of trimmed string beans to the sauce and simmer until tender but not falling apart. That’s it. Serve in a bowl with crusty bread. You’re done.
