►Freezing uncooked meatballs: 
Prepare the meatballs through Step 5. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the meatballs to a freezer container or freezer bag, and freeze for up to 1 month. (Meatballs can be frozen for longer, but tend to develop freezer burn.) Thaw meatballs in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.

►Freezing cooked meatballs: 
Let the cooked meatballs cool completely, then arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer container or bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Frozen meatballs can be thawed overnight in the refrigerator or reheated directly from the freezer. Reheat meatballs in a simmering sauce for 10 to 15 minutes or in a warm oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

  1. Perfect recipe! I’m Italian 😜 the only difference from my receipt is that I put the bread in milk instead water and if I cook them in a pan with oil I roll them in grated bread , if I cook them with tomato I dump them with tomato sauce in the instant pot and they turn amazing 😉😘 your recipes are always great! Thank you for sharing 😘

  2. Your recipes are probably some of my favorite. I was uncertain about this, but you know what's good. I didn't have ground pork, but I did have everything else. These were so absolutely delicious. I'm Sicilian and I used to hate meatballs and meatloaf growing up, but it was always so gross when I'd eat it. These are so good that I am now considering making meatloaf. My husband likes this type of stuff so I wanted to try it out. Thank you for your channel!

  3. Thought I'd comment after making these a couple of times…Thank you they are absolutely gorgeous. A real hit with the family and so versatile. I've been popping a small square of blue cheese in the middle and that has sealed the deal. I'm now being asked to make them weekly.

  4. These were pleasant. I like the base recipe but think I will like it more with a few modifications. The recipe as written was plenty juicy and the texture was soft as well. I would like to try these with 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes and some finely diced onion in the meat mix. Thank you for sharing.

  5. Peace💙 and💙 Blessings💚 Too💜 My💛 Brother❤️ May 💚God💜 Bless 💙You❤️ Always 💚May 💜God💛 Bless❤️ You 💚Richly💜 with Everything💙 You❤️ need 💜Always Much💙 Love❤️ Blessings 💜Always ☺️ ✌️ 💯 ❤️ 🎇 🌈 ☺️ 🌐💚❤️💙💙💛💛💙💙❤️❤️💚💚💚
