Notes
- You can use turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option.
- For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to reduce the liquid.
- Adding fresh thyme or parsley can enhance the flavor.
- Make sure to brown the meatballs first if you want added depth of flavor, though it’s optional.
