Notes

If you can find the chopped tomatoes that have the oregano and basil seasoning this adds further great taste.
Use a food processor to chop the carrots very finely, they will melt into the sauce and add sweetness that will cut the acidity of the tomatoes eliminating the need to add sugar.
As we are a hunting family we use Venison in place of the beef and it works beautifully!
Use this meatballs recipe for making other dishes (like meatball subs, etc).
This is one of those recipes that will taste better the next day! Perfect leftovers.
