Quick Meatballs and Spaghetti

I just made this one up for supper tonight. Its similar to my hamburger recipe. It's a quick, throw-together meatballs and spaghetti recipe that doesn't take too long to make but tastes really good!

Ingredients:
About 1 lb ( a little more) ground beef
About 1 lb ( a little more) ground turkey
your favorite teriyaki bbq sauce
onion powder
garlic powder
1 egg
Jason's seasoned breadcrumbs
olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 28-oz can crushed tomatoes
about 1/4 of the empty can filled with water
jar of your favorite marinara sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Angle hair pasta or spaghetti ( I use Barilla Plus whole wheat pasta)

Put the ground beef and turkey in a medium size mixing bowl. Add the teriyaki bbq sauce (about 1/3 cup), egg, breadcrumbs, onion powder and garlic powder (you have to eye ball it, no exact measurements, just sprinkle over meat generously). Form medium size balls.

Coat a large pot with olive oil. Add onions and garlic and saute till soft but not brown. Pour in crushed tomatoes, marinara sauce and enough water to thin out the sauce a little. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and add meatballs. Cover and simmer until meatballs are cooked, about 30 minutes. Serve over angel hair pasta or spaghetti.
