I ran out of onion so used onion powder instead.

I used 1 can of peeled tomatoes and one can of crushed (purchased the crushed by accident).

I added chili powder and red pepper flakes for heat.

*Note- if using store bought bread crumbs, do not add milk until the meat and crumbs are combined. The milk and bread crumbs form a thick paste that is difficult to mix.

Plating instructions can be found in video. Have fun!
