My mother's recipe from a page torn out of a cookbook years ago. Great for leftovers.

Saw a similar recipe on GMA a few months ago, but wanted to put our own spin on it. It's a little time-consuming to make the teeny little meatballs, but definitely worth it! We call it a "stoup" (Thank you Rachael Ray) because it has a pretty thick consistency.
