• Heat oven to 350 (180C). Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl, add the rest of the meatball ingredients and gently mix them together using your hands. Season to taste and roll the mixture into balls roughly 1 inch in diameter (I got 30 balls from this recipe).
• Place your Dutch oven on the stovetop and place all the sauce ingredients inside. Give it a good stir and then cover and bring to the boil over a medium-high heat. When the sauce is up to the boil, remove from heat and add the meatballs. Use a kitchen spoon or simular to take care not to splash your self with hot sauce.
• Place the Dutch oven covered, in heated oven for 15 minutes. Remove and allow to stand for a few minutes before serving.

When checking the seasoning of meatballs/ burger patties etc no body really wants to taste raw meat, so cook a little bit of the mixture off in a fry-pan to taste it.

When rolling the meatballs, add a little vegetable oil to your hands. This will stop the mixture from sticking to your hands.
