Meatballs/sauce/green beans. . . Oh my!

You wanna make something fairly healthy and gluten free that every one will love? Okay, I hear that so I will get straight to the point. This is an affordable meal and makes ALOT it serves about 7 ppl. I always make a lot of food for leftovers that I can either freeze or just take for lunch. Eating the way I eat can be inconvenient or expensive if I'm not prepared. . . Which is easier than it sounds if you just put a little thought in to it . Always try and cook enough food for 1 or two frozen servings and 1 or two lunches. Then you get to the point (eventually) that you will have a variety in your freezer. If your anything like me, my lunch is often a surprise ( lack of organization )but never a disappointment ;)
INGREDIENTS
1LB Turkey burger
1LB turkey/chicken or pork sausag

BEGIN WITH
Combining the meats, eggs, half the amount of grated carrots,half the amount of onion, salt, pepper,1 tsp of cumin and mix it very well in a bowl.then roll in to big old' meatballs
Then in a pan that has already been heated brown them on all sides. They don't need to be cooked through yet. After browned moved them to a plate and set aside.
Use a spatula to scrape bottom of the pan then add onions and carrots, while those are going add approx a tsp to tbs of apple cider vinegar in the pan to loosen the stuff on the bottom AKA cracklin's (Alesha Irene) add in a dash of salt/pepper and a couple more shakes of cumin,chili powder , oregano,thyme , mix it all around and then add the can of crushed tomatoes.
TIP: You can add how ever many of the spices that want to the dish and the more vinegar you add (see above ^)the tangier. you could add up to 4 TB.
Then Nestle your meatballs back in to your sauce and simmer for about 30 min. With the lid on.
About 10 min before they are done add the green beans to the top and put the lid back on so they can steam.
TIP: if you do fresh you may want to put the beans in 20 min before they are done.
We served the meat balls and sauce over the beans. There were no complaints from the kids and lots of oohs and awwws. There was however 1 recommendation from a near teenager that I know and it was "this is so good, but next time we should eat it with noodles" I think he is on to me ;)
