Nothing beats a reaaaalllly good meatball. They are tasty, juicy and full of flavour!

I also love meatballs because they are so versatile. Often times, I will make a huge batch, use some and freeze the rest to use later in a variety of ways! They keep well in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months in the freezer. All you need to do it take them out of your freezer and let thaw in the fridge overnight until thawed. So easy!

This recipe is all about how to make the tastiest meatballs PLUS 2 different ways my family likes to enjoy them. Hope one of these ideas works for you!
