Best Tangy Meat Sauce Recipes

TANGY MEAT SAUCE

Tangy Meat Sauce image

This is the best meat sauce I've ever tried. It's economical, timely and absolutely delicious. I often prepare batches for new moms because it can be kept in the freezer for future meals. Try it with ground chicken instead of beef, if you prefer. -Adalia Schweitzer, Hamilton, Ontario

I made this recipe for the first time yesterday for the holiday party we attended. With a few very small changes I will be serving this dish to guests and taking it to party's again and again. I made 45 balls and not a single one was left in fact it was a race and war for the last one.This recipe came with the Kitchen aid free standing mixer I got this weekend. Absolutely delicious.
