griffo4, here you are - a recipe I got from my late Mother in Law and posted it here years ago. I had the recipe file open as I'm intending to make them for visiting family this weekend.

MEATBALLS IN RED SAUCE
Sauce:
2 tbsp butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp brown sugar
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup vinegar
1 thin slice lemon
1 cup each of tomato sauce and water

Fry the onion in the butter until tender. Add the remaining ingredients and bring the sauce to the boil.

Meat Balls:
1½ cups soft breadcrumbs
½ cup milk
450g mince
225g sausagemeat
1 small onion, chopped
salt and pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten

Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk until all the milk is absorbed.
Blend the mince and sausagemeat. Add the onion, salt and pepper, then the egg and soaked breadcrumbs. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and place them in a roasting dish. Pour the sauce carefully over and around the meatball portions.
Bake, uncovered, at 180°C for 1 hour. Turn the balls after 30 minutes and check the sauce level - sprinkle in a little water if necessary. :-))

do you mean you cut them up and cook them in a sauce?
