Join the discussionSo I don’t have to pre-cook the meatballs if I am freezing them?
That’s correct, Karen – just mix them, form them and flash freeze! Easy!
I made these last night- served half and froze half for later- they were fantastic! The whole family loved them even my picky doesnt really like meat middle son. We had the leftovers from dinner last night for lunch today and they reheated great. I doubt the ones in the freezer will last long because my sons are already asking when we can have them again.
Glad you liked them, Jeni! They certainly are a favorite at my house!
