One of my Mom’s staples, this is a version from my sister, Vicki. I wasn’t crazy about the results, to be honest. I’m not a fan of runny sauces, even though one definition I found for slumgullion was “watery tomato broth”. I’ll be trying it again, but changing it up a bit, and adding some spices since for me this was pretty bland, except for the salt from the canned tomatoes. First thing I’ll likely try is substituting sour cream or perhaps buttermilk for the milk. I also have an original version my Mom made, I’ll be trying that soon as well.

1 pound of Meatballs (recipe follows)
