Farm Style Spaghetti and Meatballs

Y'all didn't know I live on a farm? Just kidding, I really live in a zoo... (My husband is embarrassed right now because I am not funny. Love you, sweetie!). Anyway, I don't know where this recipe got it's name, but I got the recipe here. I knew it would be awesome because it had Lipton onion soup mix in it...I was right. This is not normal spaghetti--not like Italian spaghetti. It has a whole different, rich flavor--I can't describe it. Just try it. Trust me. It's good. When I made it, I halved the recipe (I am making it again tonight). Let's start with the meatballs:

MEATBALL INGREDIENTS

2 pounds ground beef
1/2 of one envelope of Lipton onion soup mix
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (I did not have this so I just threw in some dried oregano, parsley, and garlic powder totaling 1 1/2 teaspoons)

INSTRUCTIONS

(1) Preheat your broiler to 500 or 550.
(2) Use your hands to mix your ingredients and shape into ping-pong sized balls.
(3) Place the balls on a cookie sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes.
(4) Then place meatballs into a large pot or dutch oven.

SAUCE INGREDIENTS*

1 29-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 can of water
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (again, I kind of made my own)
1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix
1 pinch ground cloves

INSTRUCTIONS

(1) Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and add to pot over meatballs.
(2) Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium/low. Cover and cook for about 40 minutes. The longer you cook it the thicker your sauce will be.
(3) Serve over spaghetti!

*Warning: DO NOT wear your favorite light colored shirt while eating this...don't let your husband either...unless you have an excellent stain remover :)
