Cook sausage meat balls in skillet.  Drain well and put in stock pot

Add:
1 onion diced
1 green pepper diced

2 Tbls. Oregano
2 Tbls. Sweet basil

  1. This sounds delicious. I think I'll give this a try. My mom use to make her own sauce. Alas, I get mine from a bottle. But this looks fairly easy.
