This is a vegan version of a recipe my dad always made for us as kids! I like making my own meatballs out of the Lightlife Plant-Based Ground, but you can also use pre-made if you rather!

Hey Liv! How can I get the chilli sauce here in the US?
Could you use a can of chopped tomatoes for the chilli sauce?
Can you bake the meatballs too?
This recipe was so easy, tasty, and different!
