SC this recipe today and first time trying this new recipe, It was simple and absolutely delicious 😋
I used Pork & Veal pre made meatballs (40) GF
cooked on low for 5 hours, I then served for 2 of my family on creamy mash and for myself on pumpkin & sweet potato mash, Bowls were left empty and no leftovers to be had, will definitely be making this again, Thank you
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback Alicia
This recipe is the yummiest flavour of sauce OMG everyone must try it you will not be disappointed. iv done it with meatballs next I’m trying it with chicken breast using similar technique as do with the Hawaiian chicken.
That’s SUCH lovely feedback – thanks Jane! 🙂
That sauce is SAUCILICIOUS😋😋😋
I used pre-made meatballs served with rice, carrot s and beans on the side.
Definitely saving this one to favourites.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your amazing feedback Kerry – love it!! 🙂
I will definitely be making this again. I ended up forgetting to put parsley but I don’t think it mattered at all.
That’s awesome – thanks Karen for leaving your feedback 🙂
I made my own meatballs using 1kg chicken mince, 1/2C breadcrumbs, mixed garlic and 1 egg (I made 26 large meatballs). And I didn’t add the parsley as I didn’t have any. Served it with rice and steamed veg. Would probably add cornflour next time as suggested to thicken the sauce.
That’s great to hear Jessica! Thanks for sharing your alterations too 🙂
SC’d this today. Oh, YUM, YUM YUM!!!
I gave my husband a taste of what was on offer tonight. Well, he licked that little bowl clean! Definitely will be on the menu again. Serving with mashed potato to soak up all that delicious sauce .😋

Thanks so much for leaving your feedback WP 🙂
Looks delicious.
Did you add cornflour with other ingredients or thicken after it was cooked?
If you add it, make the slurry first then stir it through in the final 10-15mins 🙂
I dont eat meat but this smelt so amazing. The men have asked for this again tasty. Likable plate lol
That’s so wonderful to hear they enjoyed it! Thanks Ally 🙂
