Meatball Marinara

The best marinara sauce is one that is slow cooked all day. You can make it with meatballs, or with meat sauce or completely vegetarian. I am including the meatball version below, if you want a meat sauce just fry meats, drain off fat and add all ingredients and simmer. Make extra so you can use it through the week for other meals.

1 egg
1/2c bread crumbs

1 can diced tomato's
2tsp sugar to cut acidity
