my spaghetti and meatballs sucks

I don't know what i'm doing.

I took a little over a pound of 80/20 ground beef.
I mashed it up in a bowl.

I chopped up half an onion, i throw in bread crumbs
...some from 'bread crumbs' and some from grating some bread.

I use an egg + salt + pepper + touch of garlic powder + dried basil + italian seasoning.

make about 16 smaller meatballs.

brown them in the skillet with a little more salt and olive oil.

Meanwhile...

I got a jar of Classico tomato & basil sauce.
I cut up a fresh tomato.
I add 12oz of Del Monte diced tomatoes in basil and oregano. I mix it all together and add some water and olive oil.
I add some choped onion + chopped red onion + a little chopped green pepper
I take more basil and italian seasoning.


I take the browned meatballs and dump them in the sauce and let is simmer.

It's not horrible, but i know it can be better.
