SPAGHETTI SAUCE AND MEATBALLS 
1/2 c. oil
1 med. onion, chopped
2 med. garlic cloves, halved
1 lb. ground sirloin (fry in separate pan; drain grease and add to sauce)
1 can Contadina tomato sauce
1 tsp. sugar
1 lb. spaghetti

In a 6 inch fry pan, saute onion and garlic in oil until onion and garlic are browned. Strain onion and garlic out of frying pan and set them aside. Set the oil inside the frying pan aside to cool. In a medium saucepan, heat the tomato sauce on medium heat; stir in cooled oil and sugar. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes on high heat and then reduce to medium heat. Cook partially covered for 1 hour; add meatballs last 45 minutes. Last 10 minutes reduce heat to simmer and cover tightly. The longer you cook it, the thicker it gets.
