salt, pepper, oregano, and basil (dash or so of each... to taste)

the bean layer.
Bake 40 minutes or till bubbly.

Sauce

These are so sweet, tart and tangy all at the same time - really yummy! Just mix all ingredients for meatballs, make up small meatballs and pan fry or bake for about 30 minutes at 350* ....(I pan fry them).
Mix and heat all ingredients for the sauce, bring to a slight bubbling boil stirring often until all well blended. Put cooked meatballs into a crock pot, pour sauce over the top. Keep on low until serving time.

You can also make them the day before so the meatballs have time to marinate in the sauce. Then just put them in the slow cooker to heat. These can also be made then frozen.

Wow, Gr8Auntie, LilBitMissty is going to be thrilled by all your work!

I didn't see the following link elsewhere in these posts, but this thread popped up in my Results while I was searching for a completely different recipe:

http://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/LBM-Recipes-Could-you-please-post-any-if-you-have-some/td-p/9747...

The title, as you can see, was:  LBM Recipes, Could you please post any if you have.

There are 57 replies of recipes, and they are all there.  Looks like it was started in 2014 but for some reason didn't show up in my previous search.

(Hmmmm - when I hit the POST button, a message said invalid HTML in message.  Post has been changed.  I'll post now and see what happens.)

ETA:  I tried the link after it posted and it goes to the thread I had found.  Hope this helps LilBitMissty!

[Gr8Auntie]

Thank you, HoneyBit.  I know that I don't have all of those recipes, so I really appreciate it.  And it was easy for me to click on and use.   

I also have more in my Meat Folder, which I'll copy tomorrow.

Thanks, again. LilBit has so many wonderful recipes.  I feel just terrible for her.  I truly hope that she is able to find her original recipes.  If not, then this can be a small consolation for her.
