Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Combine all the sauce ingredients and pour into a deep roasting dish/casserole dish.

For the meatballs, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Form medium sized meatballs and place into the roasting dish.

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Sprinkle over the cheddar cheese and bake for another 10 minutes

the tomato sauce. Add another sprinkling of cheese if desired.
