EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

You can substitute 2 cups frozen diced onion and green bell pepper or look for chopped fresh vegetables in the produce department.

Bulk Italian pork sausage can be used in place of the ground beef. You’ll want to drain it before adding the pizza sauce.

Coarsely chop the onion and bell pepper in a food processor fitted with a chopping blade.

Basic, but still tasty and very easy to make. Not the best thing in the world, but I'll still use it when I need something quick.

this recipe has to be "romanced" a bit. Being Italian, I always have extra meatballs in my freezer. Depending on how big yur meatballs are (I make 3oz) I use 1 per person, put them in the processor until they are loose meat and add all the other ingredients except green pepper. Excellent!!
