Notes: 
a) You can add 2 Tablespoons of the onion and green pepper and mix it into the meat before forming into balls. You can also blend the onions and peppers with a teaspoon of lemon juice if you prefer not feel or see the vegetables.  

b) To the mixture of tomato soup and vegetables you can add ½ teaspoon ground cumin, cayenne pepper and 3 tablespoons brown sugar and ½ cup chopped pineapple for a sweet and sour sauce a little spicy sauce. It is delicious!  ooor simply improvise and ENJOY!

c) Don't want to do the salsa? Well then add the onion and pepper to ground beef mixture like I state in note a, then fry or bake and ready for eating! I recommend doubling the recipe if you're a fan of the meatballs because these are scrumptious!
