Notes

  • To make these ahead of time: Make the meatball mixture, refrigerate for up to 2 days and bake when you’re ready. 
  • Freezing instructions: Scoop out the meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for one hour until they’re firm and then store them in a sealed freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To bake, thaw the meatballs in the fridge and bake as instructed. 
  • Leftovers: Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. 
  • To make sure all the meatballs are the same size, use an ice cream or cookie scoop to portion the meatballs.
  • Want to make it spicy? Add ¼ to ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper to the meatball mixture.
  • If the meatball mixture is hard to scoop out and shape, cover it and refrigerate for one hour.
