Prepare the Meatballs or Sausage
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent. If using ground beef, form into meatballs and brown them in the skillet. If using sausage, slice it and add to the skillet to brown.

Make the Sauce
Once the meat is browned, add crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
