Instructions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, water, half of the onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; mix well. Form into 1-inch meatballs and place in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish.

In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, including the remaining onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; mix well, then pour over the meatballs.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the meatballs are cooked through.
