That recipe is far older than Sandra Lee. I doubt she was even a glimmer
in anyone’s eye when that was first made. I remember it from the early
1960s, and it’s probably older than that.

Having said that, I remember it being made with a bottle of chili sauce,
not cocktail sauce, and *homemade* meatballs, not commercial frozen
meatballs.
