Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often cheaper.

Introduce the recipe and the new Miro 4.8 quart cast iron Dutch oven.

Form 16 small meatballs from 1 pound of ground beef without browning them.

Add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley to the meat mixture.

Mix in 1 packet of onion soup mix, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Pour 1 1/4 cups of water into the Dutch oven and add the meatballs directly into the sauce without browning them.

Add 2 (8 ounce) cans of Hunts tomato sauce to the pot with the meatballs.

Simmer the sauce uncovered for a while to reduce the watery consistency.

Taste the sauce and meatballs, noting the flavors and texture.
