Instructions: Combine all ingredients and cook slowly in a covered dutch oven on top of the stove or in a 350 F oven for 2-4 hours (depending on the meat used).

Adjust to taste by adding a little sugar or lemon juice.

Hint: make a day ahead so that you can skim the fat.

* If using ground meat add a little ketchup, water and seasoning of choice

(garlic and/or onion powder, salt, pepper) to the meat before forming into balls.
