Italian Sauce and Bison Meatballs
July 19, 2017

Red Sauce and Meatballs

By culinary@highplainsbison.com

Italian Red Sauce and Meatballs

Made from our tender ground bison, these moist meatballs are flavored with ground pepper and basil – and smothered in a sweet and zesty red sauce. Simple to make and a one-of-a-kind flavor that of a local Italian eatery.

  • 2 lb ground bison
  • 4 cloves of fresh garlic
  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 (28oz.) canned diced tomatoes and juice
  • 1 (6oz.) can tomato paste
  • 1 (15oz.) canned tomato puree
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup bread crumbs, plain
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground basil
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Italian Red Sauce

  1. Sauté garlic and onions in olive oil in a 4-5 quart heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium heat. Stir often, and cook until translucent and soft.
  2. Add all tomato products, including juice. Lower heat to simmer.
  3. Add salt, sugar, oregano, and pepper, and stir often over low heat. Cook about 1-1½ hours to help sauce develop flavor.

Bison Meatballs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, add ground bison, onion, bread crumbs, pepper, salt, basil, and Worcestershire sauce, and mix well with your hands. Form into walnut sized balls, and place on an oiled cookie tray, careful not to overcrowd and let the meatballs touch.
  3. Bake in oven 15 minutes, or until done. Serve with your favorite prepared pasta.
  4. Makes about 32 meatballs.
