Notes
Storage and freezing instructions:
Store any leftovers meatballs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Having extra leftover meatballs is also great for meal planning.
They can also be frozen before or after cooking and cooled. Store in the freezer using a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. This is perfect to help with meal planning.
Thaw in the fridge overnight before baking or reheating in the oven.
Reheat meatballs in the oven at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes using a lined baking sheet or oven-safe dish covered loosely with foil, to help retain moisture.
