For the Sauce:
1/2 cup Texas Pete brand hot sauce
1/4-1/2 cup vegan margarine (using 1/2 cup of margarine will make the sauce less hot)

• Pour over the meatballs and cook for 20 minutes in the oven at 350°F.

3 Tbsp. spicy mustard
3-6 Tbsp. Texas Pete brand hot sauce
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
