Our family loves meatballs, but sometimes I don’t have the time to make them right then and there. So I’ve made this meatball recipe into a make-ahead recipe that you make, par bake, freeze, and then only take out what you need. It takes some upfront time which I like to do when I’m not busy, however it saves you a ton of time for when you are. I love having these in the freezer for pasta, meatball subs, on top of pizzas, etc. You just grab a few from the freezer, toss them into sauce and in a matter of minutes you’ll have delicious meatballs!
