For the Tomato Sauce:

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 °F, 200 °C.
To Make the Sauce:
In a saucepan, combine the chopped onions and oil and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until they are soft and golden. Add the grated garlic and stir to warm through.
Add all of the remaining sauce ingredients and cook over medium heat until thickened. About 10-15 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
To Make the Meatballs:
Chop the garlic in the food processor until minced. Add the parsley and pulse until finely chopped.
Add the onions to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Whisk the milk and egg together.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the meatball ingredients and knead well to combine and evenly distribute everything.
Form golf -sized meatballs, burger patties, or beeftekia shape (see video)
To put it all together:
Place the potato wedges in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish or lasagna pan. Season them with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
Pour half of the tomato sauce over the potatoes.
Place the meatballs over the potatoes and pour the remaining sauce over them.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake an additional 35-40 minutes, uncovered, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Enjoy! Kali orexi!
Notes
Make an extra batch of beeftekia and place them on a tray. Freeze until solid and transfer them into freezer-safe bags. They will keep fresh up to 3 months.

Hi Dimitra, I made this last night. It was a bit of work but worth every minute! I've been making meatballs my whole life but I never thought of adding my favorite spice (cinnamon). They were absolutely delicious! In fact, the amounts of the different ingredients are so well balanced you can taste them all without one overpowering the others. I'm glad I left the sauce thick, it was perfect. Thank you very much for this one. Just outstanding.

Our cuisines are so similar. Greek and Lebanese. I guess the Mediterranean countries have similarities in their cuisine and culture.

Thanks Dimitra! Made this with fresh tomatoes, garlic, and parsley from my garden. It was so good and made an extra batch of meatballs for the freezer. Definitely reminds me of when I was a kid. 👌
