"This is based upon a great recipe which I found in a vintage "Ford Treasury of Favorite Recipes" Travel Cookbook. I changed the recipe to so it uses meatballs instead of beef round, but this can be made with round if you like; just brown the meat and add to the sauce until the meat is soft. We really like this over rice. The Mark Twain Hotel was found in Elmira, NY. I make this is a Descoware enamel over cast iron pot."
