The Worlds Best "FRIGIN" Meatballs Ever

Ingredients

1 tablespoon bacon drippings or olive oil
1 cup diced onions
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (15-ounce) cans tomato sauce
1/2 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces ground chuck
8 ounces ground pork sausage
2 tablespoons red wine
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup minced green onions, white parts only
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti, cooked, drained and tossed with olive oil

Directions

Heat the bacon drippings (or olive oil) in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Season the sauce with the basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

Place the remaining ingredients, except spaghetti, in a large mixing bowl. Mix together just until combined. Form meatballs by rolling meat mixture into 1 tablespoon-sized balls. Place meatballs on a plate as they are formed. (Hint: If your hands are slightly damp, the meatballs will roll more easily without sticking.)

Place the balls into the simmering sauce 1 at a time. Allow the sauce to return to a simmer, and cook, partially covered. Let the meatballs to rest undisturbed for 25 minutes before stirring. When the meatballs rise to the top, stir gently. Simmer, partially covered, for an additional hour, stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Remove the sauce from the heat and serve immediately over cooked spaghetti.
